chain dance
Serpentine group movement
A chain dance is a traditional folk dance in which participants hold hands, link arms, or grasp a shared object like a handkerchief, forming a line or circle that moves together.
The chain structure allows large groups to dance in unison, often in serpentine patterns: The wedding guests joined in a chain dance that wound through the hall.
