two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Mainstream

Allemande left and allemande thar, go forward two and star
The boys back up, you've got a right hand star
Shoot the star full around, turn the corner right
4 men star left, go once around
Turn your partner right, allemande your corners all
Come back one and swing, promenade on home
For square dancing is for everyone
It's the best thing in life, you see


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

1st and 3rd promenade go halfway around
Come down the middle, do the right & left thru
Square thru 4 hands, 4 hands and then
Dosado around the corner girl
Make a right hand star, turn it exactly once and then
Girls turn around and swing, promenade this man
For square dancing is for everyone
And the best thing for you and me
