HOW TO PLAY
1

Dancers form a circle or line around the drummers playing a fast repeating rhythm.

2

Bounce and stamp the feet energetically while shaking the shoulders in time with the beat.

3

Take turns leaping into the center for a short high-energy solo before rejoining the group.

4

The drummers may suddenly speed up the tempo to test how long dancers can keep pace.

5

The celebration ends when the lead drummer brings the rhythm to a slow, deliberate stop.
