two columns

(SEQUENCE: Figure, figure, middle break, figure, figure)

FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 1, no progression

Heads forward, sides to the right
Polka, polka, walk, 2, 3, 4, new heads forward
Polka, polka, walk, 2, 3, 4, new heads forward
Polka, polka, walk, 2, 3, 4, new heads forward
Polka, polka, walk, 2, 3, 4,
ladies chain
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny you turn and chain them home
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny your corner promenade
You're not handsome, it's true, but when I look at you
I just oh Johnny, oh Johnny, oh


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, how you can love
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, heavens above

Reverse
You make my sad heart jump with joy
And when you're near
the ladies have to chain across the ring
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny please chain them back
What makes me love you so?
Promenade
You're not handsome, it's true, but when I look at you
I just oh Johnny, oh Johnny, oh

From side position, couples always go directly to their right
Couples remain together through entire sequence
All couples move simultaneously from every position.)

(For teaching figure: From head position, couples do two polka steps forward to center of square; in four walking steps they will turn and back out to side position on right; from side position, couples do two polka steps directly to their right; in four walking steps they will walk to nearest head position to face center.)
