Step two:

Now that you have assembled into a circle and have begun to face your partner, you need to wait for the Chicken Dance music to begin.  Try to choose a partner to stick with for as long as you can through the dance. 

 

Step three:

Now that you have chosen a partner and the music has begun, you need to hold your hands out in front of you and open and close them four times, like a chicken beak. 

 

Step four:

Now that you have begun to perform the first part of the dance, which is to hold your hands out in front of you, and have opened and closed them four times, you need to put your thumbs in your armpits and flap your wings four times.

 

Step five:

Now that you have begun to flap your wings, you need to place your arms and hands like the tail feathers of a chicken, and wiggle down to the floor four times.  Remember to do each part of the Chicken Dance 4 times. 

 

Step six:

Now that you have wiggled down to the floor, wiggle back up and clap four times.  Repeat the first five steps four times.  Does the Chicken Dance make sense to you?

 

Step seven:

Now that you have repeated the first four steps of the Chicken Dance, take the hands of the partner you chose in the beginning of the dance, and move in a circle. 

 

Step eight:

Now that you have begun to move in one direction, switch and move into the other direction of the circle.  Once dizzy, switch directions again.

Step nine:

Now that you have followed all steps to the chicken dance, continue to repeat each step four times and dance until the song has ended.
