HOW TO PLAY
1

Two players kneel and hold the ends of two bamboo poles, clapping them together and apart on a steady beat.

2

A dancer steps in and out of the gap between the poles in time with the open-and-close rhythm.

3

The clapping speeds up gradually as the dancer keeps pace.

4

Getting a foot caught between the poles ends that dancer's turn.

5

The dancer who lasts longest at the fastest speed wins.
