HOW TO PLAY
1
Players form a circle and link hands loosely, facing inward.
2
A leader begins a slow side-step around the circle, which everyone follows together.
3
On a signal, one player steps into the center and performs a short freeform movement inspired by farming or harvesting motions.
4
The circle claps along to encourage the center dancer before they step back out.
5
A new player takes the center for the next round, and the circle keeps rotating between turns.
