Frog Dance

A competition dance for two men or occasionally women.  Also known as the Kibby Dance and the Monkey Dance/Hornpipe.

Two men squat on their haunches opposite each other, sometimes holding hands and perform a sort of “cossack” step until one falls over.

Known from oral tradition in North Lancashire (as the Frog Dance), Yorkshire (as the Kibby dance) and Dorset (as the Monkey Dance)
