HOW TO PLAY
1
Players form a wide circle around an open space while singers or drummers set a driving beat.
2
One player steps into the center and performs a short sequence of stamping footwork and arm movements in time with the beat.
3
The circle claps and stamps along, echoing key parts of the sequence back to the dancer.
4
That dancer then chooses the next player to step into the center and build on the sequence with new movements.
5
The beat can quicken as the circle continues, raising the energy with each new dancer.
6
The circle keeps rotating through dancers until the group agrees to bring the song to a close.
