OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
She was only sixteen, only sixteen
But I loved her so
She was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

Allemande left, weave the ring
We'd laugh and we'd sing
And do the little things
That made my heart glow

Promenade
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Heads (Sides) promenade halfway
Walk in and square thru four hands
You go a right & left thru
Pass thru and trade by
Touch 1/4, scoot back and then, scoot back again
Your corner swing and promenade,
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Why did I give my heart so fast
It never will happen again
But I was a mere lad of sixteen
I've aged a year since then

Allemande left and weave
She was only sixteen, only sixteen
With eyes that would glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know


TAG

And I was too young to know
And I was too young to know
