Get the group to make lines in "single file" fashion, i.e. Facing the back of the person in front, lining up in several lines facing the front. Long lines are fun as you'll see. Dance goes through to step 40. Then the person in the front of the line peels of to their right and shuffles/skips/runs to the re-join at the back of the line ready to start again (the traveler). Meanwhile, the rest of the lines do steps 41-48 moving slightly forward (they are the wanderers) and start again.
