HOW TO PLAY
1

Dancers form a loose line or circle facing a lead dancer at the front.

2

The leader demonstrates a short hip-and-footwork combination in time with the drum rhythm.

3

The group repeats the combination together, focusing on matching the leader's timing and movement.

4

Every so often, the leader introduces a new combination, and the previous one is added into a growing routine.

5

The dance continues building in complexity until the group agrees to stop or the music ends.
