two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Everybody likes a celebration
Happy music and conversation

Men star right, one time 'round you know
Allemande left and weave the ring
*In the corner there's a couple dancing
From the kitchen I can hear them laughing
**Oh, I wish I was celebrating, too!


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*She's been lyin' since the day I met her

**Oh, I, would rather be lonesome and go

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (Sides) promenade take it halfway 'round now
Sides (heads) do a right & left thru
Square thru four hands 'round and then
Do an eight chain four
*In the corner there's a couple dancing
Swing your girl and then promenade
**Oh, I wish I was celebrating, too!

MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
I know (I know) this night (this night)
Won't last forever
I know (I know) the sun (the sun)
Is gonna shine
, Allemande left and weave
I need (I need) some hope (some hope)
For a bright tomorrow
I know (I know) this heart (this heart)
Is gonna mend just fine
