Players wear a feathered headband or streamers on their arms to represent bright plumage.

A leader demonstrates a bouncing step with wide, sweeping arm movements like wings spreading open.

3

The group follows the leader's movements, bouncing in place and sweeping their arms together.

4

The leader occasionally spins in place, prompting the whole group to spin as well before returning to the step.

5

The dance builds to a final big wing-spread pose held together for a few seconds.
