OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*May the good lord bless and keep you
Whether near or far away

Left allemande the corner, back home dosado
Men star left one time
Turn your partner by the right, and go left allemande
Swing your own and promenade
May the good Lord bless and keep you
Till we meet again


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*May your troubles all be small ones
And your fortunes ten times ten


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade half way around,
Lead to the right and circle, make a line
Go forward, come back, pass the ocean, all 8 circulate
Swing thru, girls circulate, boys scoot back
Swing your corner, promenade
May the good Lord bless and keep you
Till we meet again


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Fill your dreams with sweet tomorrows
Never mind what might have been
May the good Lord bless and keep you till we meet

Allemande left and weave
May the warm and tender memories be the ones that will remain
May the good Lord bless and keep you
