OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 11

4 ladies promenade around the inside
At home you box the gnat and then you swing
Join hands circle left, you circle round that land
Left allemande that corner, weave the ring
Weave in and out around until you meet her
Dosado then promenade her home
Then I'll lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
And I'm swingin' in my sweet baby's arms


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads promenade 1/2 around now
Down the middle you star thru and then, pass thru
Swing thru the outside two, spin the top and then
When you're through do the right & left thru
Roll away, star thru, California twirl
Swing the corner, promenade her home
Then I'll lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
And I'm swingin' in my sweet baby's arms
