two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
My Grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf
So it stood 90 years on the floor

Allemande left the corner, turn your partner by the right
Allemande left and weave the ring
But it wasted no time, and it had but one desire
Swing and promenade
But it stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 10, corner progression

Heads square thru 4 hands around you go
To the corner a right and left thru
Veer to the left, ferris wheel my friend
Centers pass thru, slide thru
Square thru 3 hands, 3 hands around the ring
Swing the corner and promenade
But it stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square only 16 beats ( half of a grand square )
90 years without slumbering
His life's seconds numbering

Allemande left the corner, turn the partner by the right
Allemande left and weave the ring
And it kept its place, with a smile upon its face
Swing and promenade
But it stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square 16 beatsC ( half of a grand square)
90 years without slumbering
His life's seconds numbering

Allemande left the corner, turn the partner by the right
Allemande left and weave the ring
And it kept its place, with a smile upon its face
Swing and promenade
But it stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died
