HOW TO PLAY
1

Each player holds the edges of their skirt or fabric out to the sides.

2

As the music starts, step in a small circle while gently swaying the fabric side to side.

3

On a called cue, spin in place once, letting the fabric flare outward, then continue stepping.

4

Partners can face each other and mirror each other's spins for a matched pair round.

5

The dance ends when the music stops, and everyone strikes a pose with the fabric held wide.
