two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Martha Ellen Jenkins
How long have I chased the boys away from you?

Left allemande the corner, turn partner by the right
And now the men star left one time around
Home you go, you dosado
Left allemande, come back
Swing and promenade
Martha Ellen Jenkins
I've loved you since the second grade


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 4, corner progression

Heads square thru 4 hands around the ring
You're gonna go dosado
Square thru again 4 hands around, face out
Bend the line, star thru
Dive thru and square thru 3/4 round
And then the corner swing and promenade
Martha Ellen Jenkins, I remember every time you broke my heart
