OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
There's a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
And the reason it's still standing
It was strong enough to bend

Circle to the left
For years we have been together
Left allemande, swing and promenade
Our love will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 8, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade 1/2 way and go
Lead to the right, you dosado
Swing thru, boys run
You bend the line & a right and left thru
You flutter wheel, sweep 1/4
You pass thru, swing on the corner and promenade
Our love will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
For years we have been together
As lovers and as friends
What we have will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend

4 ladies chain
You turn the girl & then, chain 'em back again
Turn that girl and promenade
Our love will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Like the tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
Our love will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend

Circle to the left
For years we have been together
Left allemande, swing and promenade
Our love will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend
