HOW TO PLAY
1

Pairs kneel facing each other, each holding the ends of two horizontal poles resting on blocks.

2

On a steady count, the pairs clap the poles together, then open them apart, keeping a consistent rhythm.

3

A dancer steps into the gap between the poles while they are open and steps out just before they clap shut.

4

Dancers move to the next rhythm step, tapping their feet between the poles as the pace quickens.

5

Anyone whose foot gets caught between closing poles steps aside, and a new dancer takes a turn.
