Oll an Gerriow - perfect for a 'Gwari Pymp' (game of fives).
The tune is in Fooch!
The song tells the tale of dancing all around the world, and in the end falling asleep through exhaustion.
Step is the Cornish 5-step rhythm: start with your right foot (or left if you're up for switching), and stepping on alternate feet, across, side, back, tap (or kick), side.
We used Lis-ker-ret-Cen-tre to help us keep the rhythm in the Sparkling Saturdays sessions in Liskeard.
No partner required, and simple to pick up too.
Here are the words in Cornish if you fancy a go . . .
Oll an gerriow a eze an beaz
