HOW TO PLAY
1

Form a circle or a line, joining hands or holding the belts of your neighbors.

2

Watch the dancer at the front of the line, who leads the group through the step pattern and chooses when to change direction.

3

Step together to the rhythm, weaving a few steps to one side and back, staying light on your feet.

4

Keep the circle connected and moving as one, adjusting your spacing as dancers join or leave.

5

Let the leader introduce small flourishes or footwork that ripple down the line for the group to copy.

6

Continue until the music ends, then reform for another round with a new leader if you like.
