HOW TO PLAY
1

Dancers form a long unbroken chain, holding hands, moving in a simple step-close-step pattern.

2

One player recites or sings a long narrative verse line by line.

3

The whole chain repeats each line back together while continuing to step in rhythm.

4

The chain slowly winds itself into a spiral and back out as the verses continue.

5

Continue through as many verses as the group wants before ending the dance.
