OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
I beg your pardon, mamma, what did you say
My mind was drifting off on Martinique Bay
It's not that I'm not interested you see
Augusta Georgia is a...

Allemande and weave
I think Jamaican in the moonlight
Sandy beaches drinkin' rum every night
We got no money mamma but we can go
We'll split the difference go to Coconut Grove


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 10, corner progression

Heads promenade, you take it halfway round
You square thru roll it 4 hands go round
Go all the way and do a right & left thru
Veer left and ferris wheel you do
You square thru and roll it 3 hands around
You swing the corner and promenade on down
We got no money mamma but we can go
We'll split the difference go to Coconut Grove


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Keep on talkin' mamma I can't hear your voice it
Tickles down inside of my ear
I feel a tropical vacation this year
Might be the answer to this hillbilly beer

Allemande and weave
I think Jamaican in the moonlight
Sandy beaches drinkin' rum every night
We got no money mamma but we can go
We'll split the difference go to Coconut Grove


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Voila! An American Dream
We can travel girl without any means
When it's easy as closing your eyes
And dream Jamaica is...

Allemande and weave
I think Jamaican in the moonlight
Sandy beaches drinkin' rum every night
We got no money mamma but we can go
We'll split the difference, go to Coconut Grove
