OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 11
4 little ladies chain straight across the square
Chain 'em right on back, turn your girl right there
Join all your hands, circle round you go
Allemande your corner, weave that ring you know
In and out you go, when you meet that girl
Box the gnat, pull by, left allemande, promenade
Promenade that honey, boys, to old Kansas City
That's my home town
FIGURE (PROGRESSIVE SQUARES!) A1, unknown progression
Head 2 couples lead to the right, circle to a line
In your lines go forward, come on back with you
Pass thru, move on outsides California twirl and do a right & left thru
Chain those little girls, and face the same two
Pass thru, move on (everybody) cross trail thru
Allemande this corner, come back one, promenade
Promenade right back to old Kansas City
'Cause that's your home town
With grateful recognition of the development of "progressive squares" by the late Ed Gilmore.
Note: Progressive Squares require 4 or more sets in even numbers, lined up as squarely as possible in the hall. The caller should remember that as some dancers move to new squares, others facing out to walls must automatically do a California twirl.
MOVE ON means those facing another square do a PASS THRU, as others CALIFORNIA TWIRL (or PARNTER TRADE)
