OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 11
Allemande left your corner, dosado right there
Boys star by the Left go once inside the square
Home you go, partners all, box the gnat you see
Girls star by the left once around for me
Home you go, partners all, box the gnat again
Right & left grand around the ring, you're touching every hand
You promenade your partner, you promenade one and all
You're welcome as the flowers in Spring to dear, old Donegal

Instructions
Following the Do Sa Do, dancers join both hands, palm-to-palm (no thumb grabbing). Start with man's left foot and girl's right foot, tap heel to the ground then toe to the ground then quickly small step to center, close man's right foot to left (lady's left foot to right), then step man's left and lady's right foot towards the center.
Ready for man's right foot with lady's left foot to tap heel to the ground then toe to the ground, then quickly small step-close-step away from center. The step-close-step is done in cadence with the words "in you go". You may need to slow the music for the dancer's comfort.
