OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
* I'm gonna write a little letter, gonna mail it to my local DJ
Yeah, it's a jumpin' little record, I want my jockey to play

Four ladies (men) promenade inside the ring
Gonna get back and swing with your man (lady)
Promenade go moving round the land
Roll Over Beethoven
Tell Tchaikovsky the news


ALTERNATE LYRICS

* You know, my temperature's risin', and the jukebox blows a fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm, and my soul keeps singin' the blues


* Well, early in the mornin' I'm a-givin' you a warnin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle, I'm playin' my fiddle
Ain't got nothin' to lose


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads promenade 3/4 round you go
Sides right & left thru, and rollaway you know
Double pass thru, put centers in
Cast off 3/4, make a line go up and back
Just the centers touch 1/4, same four walk & dodge
Your corner swing and promenade
Roll over Beethoven
Gotta hear it again today


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
(No lyrics - 32 beat Instrumental)
4 ladies promenade inside the ring
Get back, swing your man and promenade
Roll over Beethoven, they're rocking in two by two
