MATERIALS
- Music with a cumbia rhythm
- A lit candle prop or scarf to pass (optional)
HOW TO PLAY
1
Form a large circle and choose one player to start in the middle holding a scarf overhead like a traditional cumbia prop.
2
The middle player dances a simple swaying step around the inside of the circle in time with the music.
3
On a signal, they hand the scarf to someone in the circle, who must step in and continue the same swaying pattern without pausing the beat.
4
The circle claps along and cheers to keep the tempo steady as the scarf keeps changing hands.
5
Continue passing and dancing until the music stops, at which point whoever holds the scarf leads one final signature move.
