The technology of this dance is simple. The movements are uncomplicated. It's easy and fun to get a dance of small ducklings. The text of the song is quite long and usually the following movements are done under it: for every two lines, you first need to squeeze the palms, and then wave your elbows, imitating the wings. Then sit-ups and pelvis rotation, as an imitation of tail movements. Next you need to get up and clap your hands. For the entire time of the song, four repetitions of each set of movements are obtained. The chorus makes a small respite, during which the hands are bred in the sides in imitation of a swan flight. The main idea of this movement is the transformation of the ugly duckling into a beautiful swan.
