Red Wing

two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    C4, unknown progression

Side couples back to back, grand prowl
4 ladies chain
Hey you chain the girls across the ring & turn 'em
Chain 'em back home, turn your girl and you promenade the world
Far away beneath the stars her brave lies sleeping
While Red Wing's weeping her heart away


FIGURE   

Couple number 1 (2,3,4)
Lead out to the right and circle 1/2, the inside couple arch
Now *dip 'n dive and away you go, wind 'em up like an old yo-yo
Hurry on let's go, move over and below
Now dive thru to the right hand two and circle 1/2 way round
Then cross trail thru and find the corner, left allemande
Then dosado and promenade you know
Promenade
The breeze is sighing
While Red Wing's crying her heart away


*Dip & dive: The indicated couple leads to their right & circles 4, 1/2 way round until they are outside, looking in. The inside couple now arches up while the active couple dives thru into the center; active man is now facing his corner. The active couple now arches while the outside couple dives thru to the center where they now arch for their opposite couple to dive thru. This couple now forms an arch for the active couple to dive thru, the active couple forms an arch while the outside couple dives in & forms an arch for the opposite couple to dive thru. During this action, the couple originally opposite the active couple remains idle.
