HOW TO PLAY
1

Form a wide circle with a few players stepping into the middle as featured dancers.

2

The circle keeps a steady rhythm going with claps, stomps, or drums.

3

Dancers in the center take turns showing off a footwork pattern that matches the beat.

4

The surrounding circle claps faster or slower to challenge the dancer's timing, and the dancer adjusts to keep up.

5

After a short turn, each center dancer taps in a new player from the circle to take their place.
