The Matador   (Jopat 108)   Bob Vinyard


OPENER    Mainstream

Sides face, grand square
Everybody holds their breath
As he passes by the horns of death
Then the crowd is on its feet
To roar for the Matador, olé!

Circle left
With his scarlet cape begins the sweep
El Toro whispers from his lips

Promenade
Inside her heart is beating for the Matador
FIGURE (twice for heads, twice for sides)    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads square thru and go
Dosado the corner you know
Swing thruboys run right
Ferris wheel you do, centers pass thru
Swing thruboys tradeturn thru and go
