HOW TO PLAY
1

Dancers stand in a line wearing rubber boots, spaced enough to move freely.

2

Slap the boots, stamp the floor, and clap hands in a call-and-response rhythm led by one dancer.

3

Add a rattling chain or bell to an ankle for extra percussion if available.

4

Each performer takes a turn adding a new stamp-and-slap combination for the line to repeat.

5

Speed up the rhythm gradually as the group's confidence grows, finishing on a unified final stomp.
