one column

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

Now join up hands and make a ring,
Then circle to the left like everything
Then reverse trail along in single file
The girls step out and take a back track
And turn 'em with a right when you get back
Left allemande and weave the ring awhile
Now pretty soon he began to see how the auctioneer talked rapidly
Dosado then promenade from here
He said oh my, it's do or die, I've got to learn that auction cry
Gotta make my mark and be an auctioneer


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Now 1 & 3 1/2 square thru, then dosado that outside two
Go once around and make a right hand star
The heads star left inside the town, gotta turn that star go once around
To the same old two then do the right & left thru
Now dive thru, and pass thru, and swing thru
And then those boys trade and promenade that Jane
*Twenty five dollar bid, now thirty dollar thirty, will you give me thirty
Make it thirty bid in form of thirty dollar will you give me thirty
Who'll make a thirty dollar bid?


*Increase bid by five dollars each time through.
