What if a kid messes up the steps?
A nice feature of this dance is that a kid can make the wrong move, or be too slow, and not throw everything off. If the rest of the kids pay attention, they can take their cues from the action, instead of synchronizing to the music. The music we used had a sort of verse or stanza structure, but the cycles of the dance always ran independently of where we were in the song. Nobody seemed to mind. It’s essential NOT to be compulsive about creating an elegant weave.These are school kids having fun.
