HOW TO PLAY
1

Dancers link hands or shoulders to form a curved line, led by the person at the front holding a handkerchief.

2

The leader sets a bouncing step-hop pattern that travels in a wide arc.

3

Everyone mirrors the leader's steps while keeping the line connected.

4

Periodically the leader spins the line into a tight coil and back out into a loose curve.

5

The dance concludes when the leader signals a final flourish and the line comes to rest.
