HOW TO PLAY
1
Explain that Sinulog is danced with a distinctive two-steps-forward, one-step-back movement.
2
Everyone lines up facing the same direction with room to move.
3
On the beat, all players step forward twice, then back once, repeating in time with the drum.
4
The leader occasionally calls out a sideways shuffle or a turn to add into the pattern.
5
Anyone who steps out of sequence must clap twice before rejoining the rhythm.
6
Keep the pattern going for the length of the song, adding new small variations each round.
