two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Remember Belgium
And the Brussels Museum
Where we piled on the front steps
Like stray cavaliers

Four ladies chain, and our code of living
Chain back, meant little to others, promenade
The few francs we saved bought some cheap souvenirs

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru
But the red lights - where the catfights, Dosado make an ocean wave
Boys you run, boys trade
Everybody cast off go 3, reverse the flutter
Dixie style make a wave
Boys cross fold, swing, promenade her, too
And your sweet madame makes it feel
Just like Belgium


FIGURE (ALTERNATE)   

Heads (sides) square thru, dosado make a wave
Girls trade, boys run right
Boys trade, everybody cast off go 3
Boy walk, girl dodge, walk & dodge
Girls fold, everybody swing and y'all take her 'round and promenade
And your sweet madame makes it seem
Just like Belgium


MIDDLE BREAK   

Sides face grand square
Just like a hustler - when they look attractive
It's nothing much more - than a slap on the back

Four ladies chain, the price tag of being
Chain back, just a little bit different, promenade
The first rule to learn
Is to keep your own distance


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Aah - but the red lights where the catfights
Make it just like Belgium

Boys star right roll 'em round on there
Do an allemande left and weave the ring
Streetwalkers sweet talk you out of your spare change
And your sweet madame makes it seem
Just like Belgium


TAG

Sides face grand square
Just like Belgium - ooooh just like Belgium
Ooooh - just like Belgium

Swing
Just like Belgium
