i have called this dance many times.
i find that, with this figure, a picture is worth a thousand words. let me try
to say that in words! basically, i point my index fingers straight out and
make circles by moving the fingers down, out, up, and back to start. this
quickly makes the point that they are moving in opposite directions. as long
as they don't let go of their neighbor, they can't hardly screw up.
it's a fun dance!
