HOW TO PLAY
1
Players form a circle and begin a steady clapping rhythm together.
2
One player steps into the center and performs a short dance combination in time with the claps.
3
After a few phrases, that dancer chooses the next player to take the center by pointing or beckoning.
4
The new dancer must pick up the rhythm immediately and add their own flourish.
5
Continue until everyone who wants a turn has danced in the center at least once.
