HOW TO PLAY
1

Form a circle holding hands, facing inward.

2

Step sideways in a slow rotation while singing or humming a simple repeated phrase.

3

On a cued verse, drop hands and each player spins in place once before rejoining the circle.

4

The circle then reverses direction and repeats the stepping pattern.

5

The dance closes with everyone stepping inward to shrink the circle into a tight huddle.
