Figures

  • Foot up
  • Half hands
  • Back-to-back
  • Rounds

As with most zoomington dances, half of the set may optionally mirror all figures by starting to the right instead of the left

Chorus

  • Clashes:
    • Top row smites bottom row once
    • Bottom row smites top row once
    • Top row smites bottom row twice
    • Bottom row smites top row twice
  • Half hey.
  • Repeat

Notes

Choreographed on January 26, 2021.

The internet sea shanty sensation. Entirely choreographed on Zoom, for Zoom. The first native Zoomington dance not adapted from existing dances (though its form borrows heavily from Fieldtown).

Music

Choose either Bm or Em depending on musician or singer preference. Or mix 'n' match for extra fun. If we ever perform this in person, dancers will sing the chorus as the intro.
