Choreography by:<\/span> Bob Howell, Ohio
\nSource:<\/span> From Sharing A Treasury Of Dances<\/span>, a slightly different version is printed in Dancing For Busy People<\/span>, page 218
\nUsage:<\/span> Trios allow dancers without partners to easily join in. This has a nice rhythmic
\ngimmick with the stamps and claps.<\/p>\n
