The players stand in a ring, clasping hands. For the first two lines
of the chorus
Here we dance, looby, looby, looby,
Here we dance, looby, looby, light,
the players sway from one foot to the other, throwing the free foot
across the other in sort of a balance movement in rhythm to the music.
On the last two lines of this verse
Here we dance, looby, looby, looby, loo,
Every Saturday night,
the circle gallops halfway around to the left for the first line, and
reverses the action, returning to place on the last line.
For the alternate verses which describe action the movements are
suited to the words; for instance, when the left hand is called for,
the players lean far forward and stretch the left hand into the ring
while singing the first line, turn around, and stretch the left hand
outward for the second line, shake the hand hard on the third line,
and on the last line jump or spin completely around.
This is a very ancient game, supposed to have originated in a
choral dance, probably in celebration of the rites of some
deity, in which animal postures were assumed or animal rites
were an object. Later, it was an old court dance, stately and
decorous as the minuet.
