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.
