two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong

Allemande and weave
I gotta be me, I've gotta be me
Swing your girl and promenade
What else can I be but what I am

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads star thru, pass thru, right & left thru
Veer left, couples circulate
1/2 tag, single hinge, men trade
Spin the top, slide thru
Swing your corner, and promenade
The dream that I see makes me what I am

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
That far away prize, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call

Allemande and weave
I won't settle down, won't settle for less
Swing your girl and promenade
As long as there's a chance that I can have it all

CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else, if I'm not right for me

Allemande and weave
I gotta be free, I've gotta be free
Swing your girl and promenade
Daring to try, to do it or die
I've gotta be me
