OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

Join hands circle to the left
Go all the way around the big ol' set
When you get home it's 1 & 3 (2 & 4) dance up and back for me
2 & 4 (1 & 3) go up to the middle and back
Everybody face your partner bow and give her a swing
You swing your girl and promenade around the ring
You promenade 'em round the square, take that lady home from there
It's so nice to have those gals around the square

FIGURE    Basic, R-H lady progression

1 & 3 (2 & 4) you promenade halfway to the other side, stop there
And couples 2 & 4 (1 & 3), promenade 'em round the ring you go, halfway around you know
Join all hands circle left halfway to home
Face your partner pass her by and then swing the next
You swing that gal, you promenade you bet
You promenade 'em round the square, take your lady home from there
It's so nice to have those gals around the square

TAG

Then bow to the partner and lady on the left
