OPENER - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
They call me Cuban Pete, I'm the king of the rumba beat
When I play the mariachis I go chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky boom
Yes sir, I'm Cuban Pete, I'm the craze of my native street
When I start to dance, everything goes chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky boom
Four boys promenade inside the ring
And get back home and swing Carmen Miranda and all promenade
So if you like the beat, take a lesson from Cuban Pete
And I'll teach you to chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
The heads (sides) promenade halfway around the ring you sway
Come down the middle and square thru 4 hands
4 hands around I say, swing thru and say "ole!"
Boys run to the right and ferris wheel
Centers you square thru and go 3/4 round
You swing and all promenade
So if you like the beat, take a lesson from Cuban Pete
And I'll teach you to chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom
MIDDLE BREAK
Four ladies promenade inside the ring Cha-cha
Come back home and swing old Cuban Pete
Join all your hands and then, circle to the left my friend
Left allemande, weave the ring (Snap your fingers)
They call me...
The senoritas they sing and they swing with sombreros
It's very nice, so full of spice
And when they're dancing they bring a happy ring of vacqueros
Singin' a song, all the day long
So if you like the beat, take a lesson from Cuban Pete
And I'll teach you to chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom
