two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Heads face, grand square
This is my island in the sun
Where my people have toiled since time began
I may sail on many a sea
Her shores will also be home

Four ladies chain, go
Oh island in the sun
Chain the lady back, promenade
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest waters, your shining sands


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (Sides) square thru on bended knees
The outside pair right & left thru, you see
Eight chain two at the water side
Swing thru, go twice
All eight circulate
Swing and promenade hand in hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest waters, your shining sands


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Heads (Sides) square thru on bended knees
The outside pair touch a 1/4, you see
Scoot back, boys run right
Reverse flutter wheel, sweep 1/4
Pass thru
Left allemande and promenade hand in hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest waters, your shining sands

Circle to the right
Take a bow
