two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm a telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

Allemande that corner, weave that ring
He's making a list, he's checking it twice
Swing and promenade so nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 6, corner progression

Head couples promenade halfway around the ring
Do the right & left thru
Side couples square thru 4 hands and go
4 hands and then a right & left thru
Rollaway with a half sashay, pass thru, turn back
Take the corner, promenade the track
Santa Claus is coming to town

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle to the left
He's making a list, checking it twice
Try to find out who's naughty or nice

Allemande the corner, turn partner by the right
Allemande and weave the ring
He's making that list, he's checking it twice
Swing and promenade so nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 11

Circle to the left
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toot and a rummy tum tum
Santa Claus is coming to town

Allemande the corner, run home and box the gnat
Pull by, allemande left and weave the ring
He's making a list and checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming

You better watch out, you better not cry

Allemande left and weave the ring
He's making a list and checking it twice
Swing and promenade so nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
