two columns

OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*I can't take another heartache
Though you say you're my friend
I'm at my wits' end

The boys star right,
Allemande left and weave
You've gotta be cruel to be kind, in the right measure
Swing, promenade in time
**Baby you've gotta be cruel
You gotta be cruel to be kind


ALTERNATE LYRICS

* I pick myself up off the ground
To have you knock me back down, again and again


** Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign

FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 10, corner progression

Heads you promenade it's halfway
Pass the ocean, extend and go
Swing thru, boys run
Ferris wheel, centers pass thru
Star thru, square thru three hands you go
Swing and promenade in time
Baby you've gotta be cruel
You gotta be cruel to be kind


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
(Music Interlude)
Allemande left and weave
You've gotta be cruel to be kind, in the right measure
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign
Baby you've gotta be cruel
You gotta be cruel to be kind
