OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the Twist & Shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
Gonna dance to a band from Lou'sian tonight

4 little ladies gonna promenade
Go once in the middle of the ring I say
Gonna get on home and swing and whirl
And promenade with the pretty little girl
Well you learned to dance with your rock n' roll
You learned to swing with a dosido
But you learned to love at the Fais-do-do
When you hear a little Jolie Blon


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Head (side) 2 couples gonna promenade
You go 1/2 way 'round that ring I say
Walk into the middle & square thru and get 4 hands in the middle you do
Four hands and then do the right & left thru
Turn a little girl you're still not through
You're gonna veer to the left and ferris wheel tonight
Square thru and count about 3
Git, git, git to the Cajun queen
Swing and whirl with the corner girl
Promenade get around that world
Well you learned to dance with your rock n' roll
You learned to swing with a dosido
But you learned to love at the Fais-do-do
When you hear a little Jolie Blon


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

4 ladies gonna promenade go once around that ring I sing
Gonna get on home, swing & whirl, go once around with a Cajun girl
Join your hands circle to the left go moving walking round that set
Allemande left, gonna weave the ring tonight
Bring your momma, bring your poppa bring your sister too
Got lots of music and lots of room

Swing and whirl with the pretty little girl
Gonna promenade get round that world
You learn to dance with your rock and roll
You learned to swing with a dosido
But you learned to love at the Fais-do-do
When you hear a little Jolie Blon


TAG

Bow to the partner, corner of the hall
Whoa - that's it, that's all
