OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Headed down life's crooked road
Lots of things I should have known

Men star right go once around
Left allemande come home a dosado
Left allemande and weave around that ring
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead
Dosado, you promenade I said
Detour all these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

1 & 3 (2 & 4) you promenade 1/2 way now with your maid
Come down the middle and do the right & left thru
Flutter wheel cross the floor, sweep 1/4 more
Pass thru and do the right & left thru
Swing thru and then swing thru again
Swing the corner girl and promenade
Detour all these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
