Fair and Square Humorous Patter Sayings
Allemande left to your corner; Go right and left grand. When you see your pretty gal, don't squeeze too hard her little hand. Head ladies chain; side ladies too down the middle Your partner ain't no second fiddle. All partners promenade. Don't stop off for lemonade. Do si do your corner; do si do your own. Circle left. Make a ring; no, don't ring like a telephone! Promenade once again. She’s your Barbie. He’s your Ken. Ladies in; men sashay. Step lively; this ain’t no ballet!

You're right about that! It ain't no ballet! Square Dancing is high energy, country, fun! But not sophisticated, a bit like me! :) Attention everyone!! I made A HUGE mistake and forgot to add this one to the contest! Andrea has been so graceful and kind about it but again, I apologize whole heartedly. This was a valiant effort well done! Xo

Thanks. I think these lines wouldn't even make half of a square dancing sequence

No, indeed...ballet it is not! I've only square danced once or twice in my younger days, and it was great fun, as I recall. Thanks for the memory, Andrea.

It's super fun. Sadly, my husband hates to dance, and sixth grade was my last real chance to do it.

Cute one, Andrea. I always thought I would love to do square dancing, but alas, the time has passed. Thanks for sharing with us your contest entry. Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Sara K

Dear Andrea, I am square dancing to your artistry. It was so delightful and playful fun. I felt like I was there! I loved all your rhymes and instructions, which just seemed to flow smoothly. You have definitely captured the lively spirit of the dance. I smiled and was very blessed! - Blessings, My Freind, Daniel

Thanks, Daniel. the line limit in the contest does not allow for a complete square dance song, but this would include some main steps.

A poem from a howdy girl in square dancing. Brings back old memories.

Where did you square dance, Jay?

I felt this was some kind of dance. Perhaps western? Go to it gal, Hugs.
