two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
I love to go a wandering along the mountain track
And as I go I love to sing, my knapsack on my back

Allemande and weave
Val-deri, Val-dera
Swing and promenade the ring
Val-deri, Val-dera
My knapsack on my back


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade all the way around the ring
Sides (heads) square thru 4
4 hands and then, touch 1/4, scoot back
Boys fold, girls turn back, that corner swing
Swing and promenade that ring
Val-deri, Val-dera
My knapsack on my back


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
I love to wander by the stream that dances in the sun
So joyfully it calls to me, come join my happy song

Allemande left and weave
Val-deri, Val-dera
Swing and promenade the ring
Val-deri, Val-dera
My knapsack on my back


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
I wave my hat to all I meet and they wave back to me
And blackbirds call so loud and sweet from every green wood tree

Allemande and weave
Val-deri, Val-dera
Swing and promenade the ring
Val-deri, Val-dera
My knapsack on my back
