OPENER - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 1
* If tomorrow all the things were gone I've worked for all my life
** And I had to start again with just my children and my wife
Left allemande, dosado
Gents star left, go once around
Turn partner by the right and you go left allemande
Swing your own and then you promenade that land
And I'll gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
God bless the U.S.A.
FIGURE (Mainstream) Basic - SSD Week 8, corner progression
Head (side) couples promenade go halfway around
Walk in and square thru 4 hands around the town
Go all the way around and do a little dosado
Go once around, swing thru you know
Boys you run, those couples circulate
Chain down the line, you keep her, promenade
And I'll gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
God bless the U.S.A.
FIGURE (Plus) Plus, corner progression
4 ladies chain across, gonna turn that girl around
Head (side) couples promenade go halfway around
Those sides (heads) pass the ocean, ping pong circulate
Extend and then, explode the wave
Chase to the right now when your through
Swing that corner girl, promenade her too
And I'll gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
God bless the U.S.A.
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 2
4 ladies chain across and turn that girl around
Roll away and circle left go walkin' round
4 ladies roll away, circle left and then
Left allemande that corner, weave around that ring
And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free
Swing your girl around and promenade with me
And I'll gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
God bless the U.S.A.
