OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
* She was born in Dakota
* Where she froze to death each winter
* But she dreamed about the islands
* By the fire burning splendor

Allemande left and weave
Almost paradise
Swing and promenade
It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice


ALTERNATE LYRICS

* So she moved down on the border
* With the sunshine but no seaweed
* Though she could not drink the water
* Some of the streets were lined with palm trees


* Electric fan on the table
* Show is her waterfall
* She may never have Jamaica
* But in her mind she has it all


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 8, corner progression

Heads square thru go four now
With the corner dosado
Swing thru and then boy run
Bend the line do the right & left thru
Flutter wheel straight across now
Slide thru and corner swing, promenade
It was almost Jamaica
Almost real nice


TAG

It was almost Jamaica, almost paradise
