Pulling Taffy (November 2009)

When teaching beginners, suggest they touch the leg that is going to move with the same-side hand. And then tell them that the hand just keeps going. This helps new students remember which hand is on the bottom. Note that the hands pass one another over the first leg. (So if you are stepping left, the hands pass one another over the right leg, not in the middle of the body.) The bottom hand stays at waist level.
