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.
