Lapada
(Source: "Songs for All Sorts", compiled by Marion Prior)

Thanks very much to Marion Lougheed, who posted this song to the Guiding Mailing List!

We dance the Lapada, Lapada, Lapada.
We dance the Lapada, Lapadapada.

Dance: In a circle formation, everyone holds their neighbours' hands the first time through. Take 4 side-together steps to the left, then 4 to the right. Repeat for each verse with hands on the appropriate place on your neighbours' bodies, according to the question and answer with the Leader.

Leader: "Have you danced the Lapada?"
Group: "Yes!"
Leader: "Have you danced with your hands on your head?"
Group "No!"

Repeat the song, this time with your hands on your neighbours' heads. Then continue the questioning, using shoulder, waist, knees, ankles, and toes. The Leader asks the same series of questions, starting with the head each time and working through the list until she receives the answer "No".
