How To Crack The Whip Dance



Crack the whip (also known as Pop the Whip or Snap the Whip) is a simple outdoor children's game that involves physical coordination and is usually played in small groups, either on grass or ice, usually grass. One player, chosen as the "head" of the whip, runs (or skates) around in random directions, with subsequent players holding on to the hand of the previous player. The entire "tail" of the whip moves in those directions but with much more force toward the end of the tail. The longer the tail, the more the forces act on the last player and the tighter they have to hold on. As the game progresses and more players fall off, some of those who were previously located near the end of the tail and have fallen off can "move up" and be in a more secure position by grabbing onto the tail as it is moving, provided they can get back on before others do. There is no objective to this game other than enjoying the experience.

The masks and costumes are something these people are very proud of and the colors of the costumes can tell a lot about where the person ranks and how long they have been participating. Boys as young as 7 are initiated by wearing an only red costume with a red mask. As each year goes by the boys who turn into young men add a piece of black to the mask and costume until finally, they are dressed in all black. The masks themselves, are something to behold, adorned with paint, feathers, fangs, and glowing eyes can be seen in these incredible masterpieces. And of course they have a very special dance and order to the ways things happen while they have invaded our sleepy little town. They march up and down the streets daring anyone, yes anyone, to cross the line into their territory, cracking their whips in warning first.


When a Spanish colonist comes along, you must whip him.That was the message of the Carnival of Tlaxcala (pronounced t-la-SCAH-lah) celebration, an import from the Central Mexican state, that filled a corner of Sunset Park with mask-and-feather-wearing revelers whacking each other in the behind with bullwhips on Sunday. The pomp and hurt-in-the-pants takes place before Lent in Mexico, but folks turned out from Connecticut, New Jersey, and Queens to catch a glimpse of their traditions brought to life in Brooklyn.


Before it was synonymous with "jargon" or "other confusing language," the phrase mumbo jumbo originated with religious ceremonies in West Africa. In the Mandinka language, the word Maamajomboo described a masked dancer who participated in ceremonies. Former Royal African Company clerk Francis Moore transcribed the name as mumbo jumbo in his 1738 book Travels into the Inland Parts of Africa. In the early 1800s, English speakers started to divorce the phrase from its African origins and apply it to anything that confused them.


DeAngela had large fake boobs, a white dress that plunged to her navel and a bum that could crack walnuts. We gathered around her like a bunch of nervous virgins. She told us we should treat the next hour like a girlie slumber party where anything goes. We all took large gulps from our cocktails. 2ff7e9595c
