INTRO

Four ladies chain 3/4, you turn them
Chain 'em straight across
Sides face grand square (count eight steps)
Find the corner...allemande left
And circle to the left go 'round

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
I'm checkin' out of this Heartbreak Hotel
I don't want to live on Lonely Street no more

Left allemande the corner, dosado your own
Left allemande and weave the ring
Oh through that grey window pane, it always looked like rain
Swing your girl around and promenade
We-e-ll, open up that door, I'm leavin' and I won't be back for more
Checkin' out of this Heartbreak Hotel


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Heads square thru count 'em 4 hands round
You make a right hand star
The heads star left, roll it one time and then
Same pair and do a dosado
Swing thru and then the boys trade
Swing the corner lady round and promenade
Hey! open up that door, I'm leavin' and I won't be back for more
Checkin' out of this Heartbreak Hotel


FIGURE (ALTERNATE)    Plus, corner progression

Heads square thru and a count it four
You meet the sides and square thru again
On your fourth hand do a left touch 1/4
Peel the top, walk up and do the right & left thru
Dixie style a' make your wave and boys cross run
Girls trade, boys run right and promenade
Hey - open up that door, I'm leaving and I won't be back for more
Checkin' out of this Heartbreak Hotel


TAG

You swing your girl there boy
Checkin' out of this Heartbreak Hotel
