OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Four ladies chain, well you turn her you know
Chain the ladies right back home you go
Join hands and circle to the left go round
Allemande left your corner, come on weave that ring
I'm not the kind of guy to let you down
Swing with your own and promenade
I love you darling, so won't you please
Swing wide your gate of love for me


FIGURE    C4, corner progression

1 & 3 (2 & 4) you promenade and go half way round
Into the middle and do a right & left thru
Square thru and go about four hands you know
Dosado your corner and then curlique
Scoot back I say, not scoot back again
Swing your corner and promenade
I love you darling, so won't you please
Swing wide your gate of love for me


FIGURE (ALTERNATE)   

1 & 3 (2 & 4) square thru four hands you go
To the outside two and do a right & left thru
Curlique and then, follow your neighbor, don't spread
Take a peek and trade the wave, now swing thru
Boys trade, turn thru and go left allemande
Come back one and promenade home
I love you darling, so won't you please
Swing wide your gate of love for me


MIDDLE BREAK    Plus

Walk around your corner, turn your partner by the left
Head ladies center teacup chain and go
Swing wide your gate of love and open it for me
Toward the center of your heart I'll be bound
I'll mend your broken heart oh darling, can't you see

Take your partner out and promenade
I love you darling, so won't you please
Swing wide your gate of love for me
