HOW TO PLAY
1
Explain that Sumazau is danced with arms extended and gently flapped like a bird gliding.
2
Everyone stands in a loose row facing a leader, arms out to the sides.
3
The leader sways side to side on the beat, tilting their extended arms up and down like wings.
4
Everyone mirrors the sway and arm-tilt exactly, staying together as a group.
5
Every few rounds, a new leader steps forward and everyone matches their pace and style instead.
6
Keep the dance going as a smooth, relaxed group flow rather than a fast game.
