OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Join your hands, circle left, Billy Boy, Billy Boy
Go all the way around the ring, Billy
Allemande left that corner girl, dosado your little pearl
The men star left, go once around
Get back home and dosado, do that left allemande
Get back and swing your lady, Charming Billy
Promenade this pretty thing, won't you help me to sing
She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother

FIGURE    A1, corner progression

Head ladies chain across and it's couples 1 & 3
Forward up to the middle and back, Charming Billy
Square thru 4 hands in the middle of town, count 4 hands around
Circle 4 with the outside pair, make a line right there
Forward 8 to the middle and back
Why don't you cross trail
And swing your corner lady, Charming Billy
After you have swung, promenade this brand new maid
She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother

FIGURE (ALTERNATE)    Basic, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade 1/2 way around that ring
Come down the middle and square thru 4
4 hands you do, then you do a right & left thru
Rollaway and then box the gnat (hold on)
Square thru 3, 3 hands you go
Trade by to the corner swing
Promenade
Take her by the hand and you promenade that land
She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother
