OPENER - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now those days are gone, I'm not so self-assured
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors
Four boys promenade one time down
Swing your partner and promenade around
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads (sides) promenade go a-halfway 'round
Down the middle and square thru four hands you go
All the way and do the right & left thru
Pass thru, trade by and then slide thru
Square thru 3 hands around
You swing the corner lady and you promenade 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?
MIDDLE BREAK Basic
Circle left
And now my life has changed in so many ways
My independence seemed to vanish in the haze
Walk around your corner and see-saw your own
Left allemande your corner, weave around the ring
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?
