Start with your right hands!

Hand Pair 1: Both right hands

Hand Pair 2: Both left hands

Slap (Hand Pair 1) palms together

Slap (Hand Pair 1) backs of hands together

Slap (Hand Pair 1) palms together twice

Vertical fist bump twice (Hand Pair 1) (KEEP THUMB FACING VERTICALLY)

Hook thumbs together and clasp them (Hand Pair 1) [SEE BELOW FOR A MORE DETAILED VERSION

Clap your (Hand Pair 2) hands on your (Hand Pair 1) hands, clap above them, clap below your (Hand Pair 1) hands, and finally, clap them on your (Hand Pair 1) hands

Hook pinkies and bring them up, down, then up again (Hand Pair 1)

Once you bring your pinkies down, clasp spare hands together (Hand Pair 2)

Bring the clasped hands, which are Hand Pair 2, down, use the other pair of hands to clap twice above the clasped hands (Hand Pair 1)

Slap partner’s forearm (elbow area) once (Hand Pair 1)

Pat your own forearm (slightly above the wrist) once (Hand Pair 1)

Clasp hands together again (Hand Pair 1)

Unclasp the hands from 11 (Hand Pair 2) and put it around your partner as if it is a one-armed hug (Hand Pair 1)

DETAILED STEP 5:

1) Face both hands upward

2) Interlock your hands by hooking your thumbs together, still faced horizontally

3) Move both hands so the backs are touching

4) Roll your hand under your partner’s while they roll their own hand over yours (YOU NEED TO UNLOCK YOUR THUMBS FOR THIS STEP)

5) Lock thumbs together again as your hands are in a hand-shaking position
