OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER C4
Walk around your corner, see saw your taw
And then the men star right, it's once around the land
And you go left allemande, come back and swing your girl
You swing your lady go round
Sides back to back, grand prowl (see comments)
Row, row, row, a little further he would row oh, oh
*Then he'd drop both the oars and take a few more encores
And then he'd row, row, row
FIGURE Basic - SSD Week 5, corner progression
Heads square thru 4 hands go, around that corner girl you'll dosado
Square thru 4 hands around and you keep it up in time
When you're done you'll have a line
Step forward, a partner trade, go up to the middle and you come on back
And then you square thru 3
You swing that corner girl and promenade for me
**Oh what a lovely day, let's go sailing away
And we will row, row, row
ADDITIONAL LYRICS
*Then he'd steal a small kiss from his lovely new miss
And then he'd row, row, row
**Promenade high and wide with that girl by your side
**Promenade just once more with the girl you adore
TAG
Swing your honey
And we'll row, row, row
Grand Prowl: (Burleson's Encyclopedia #77)
Sides stand back to back and go to the heads position as they do in a grand square except that they're walking away from each other instead of backing away from each other. In the head position they star thru and then do the head's part. The heads start by going forward as in grand square and then star thru with the person in front of them and then back out to the sides position where they stand back to back to start the side's part. Repeat until home.
