HOW TO PLAY
1
Players form a circle, standing with enough space to clap and step freely.
2
One player starts a simple clapping pattern, striking their own hands and then their neighbor's hands in sequence.
3
The pattern travels around the circle, each player repeating the exact sequence before adding a small step or hip sway of their own.
4
The rhythm builds in speed as it completes each lap around the circle.
5
Anyone who breaks the pattern or misses a clap steps to the center to lead the next new rhythm.
