OPENER Basic - SSD Week 1
4 ladies promenade, go 'round
Back home and swing the man, 'round and 'round
Join hands, circle left 'round the ring
Allemande left with the corner, weave the ring, well...
Show me the way to Amarillo
Swing the girl, promenade 'round the ring go
Is this the way to Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me
FIGURE Basic - SSD Week 7, corner progression
Heads square thru, it's 4 hands 'round
All the way and then, circle to a line
Break out and make a line and then go right & left thru

Swing corner, promenade 'round the ring now
Is this the way to Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me
