Harare Mbira Rhythm Freeze

Play a recording of mbira music and encourage everyone to move and dance freely around the room.

Without warning, pause the music, at which point every dancer must freeze completely in whatever position they were in.

Anyone who wobbles, moves, or laughs out loud after the freeze signal sits out for that round.

Resume the music after a few seconds and repeat, freezing at unpredictable moments.

Play continues until only a few dancers remain, or simply for a set number of rounds if playing for fun rather than elimination.
