Cruising Down The River
Blue Barron & His Orchestra 1945

two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Cruising down the river on a Sunday afternoon
With the one you love, the sun above
Waiting for the moon

Allemande left and weave
The old accordion playing a sentimental tune
Promenade
Cruising down the river on a Sunday afternoon

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads promenade, halfway around
Down the middle, pass the ocean, extend
Swing thru go two by two, boys run right
Ferris wheel and then, centers veer left
Then half tag the line, face left
Swing the corner, promenade
Cruising down the river on a Sunday afternoon

FIGURE (ALTERNATE)   

Sides square thru 4 hands around
With the heads make a right hand star
Sides star left a full turn round
Same two a right & left thru, slide thru
Load the boat, go cruising
Swing the corner, promenade
Cruising down the river on a Sunday afternoon

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic

Walk around your corner, come back a dopaso
Turn your partner left, corner right
Partner left, allemande thar, men back it on down
Slip the clutch, allemande left and weave
The old accordion playing a sentimental tune
Promenade
Cruising down the river on a Sunday afternoon

CLOSER    Plus

Head ladies center teacup chain
Cruising down the river on a Sunday afternoon
With the one you love, the sun above
Waiting for the moon

Allemande left and weave
The two of us together will plan our honeymoon
Promenade
Cruising down the river on a Sunday afternoon
