I danced to it when i was in 3rd grade. I still remembr the dance. There are two rows of people right? well one side is men and the other women.

In the beginning with way down yonder in the brick yard you do that swing with your arms and your partner.

Then when it say's 'step it stepit step it down'
you walk down in line.

Then 'Twist your partner turn around.

The guy hold up the girls right hand and she spins.

thats how i was taught.

This song is traditonal in the South. I live was born inthe south and i luv this song.

My Native american ansectors were Cherokee and lived in North Carolina at the tme od slavery my other ansectors were in Germany.
