CountStep
Part I(Clapping)
1-3Clap your waist, clap your chest (or shoulders, I have seen both variants), clap your hands
4-6With the person standing opp. you, clap R hands, L hands, both hands
7-48Repeat counts 1-6 seven times
NoteEither the men or the women (traditionally the women) should do the sequence three beats off. That is, they should start clapping on beat 4, but should still start by clapping the thighs. The reason for this should be clear as this part goes on.
