Algorithm March

The Algorithm March is a dance fad created in Japan, based on the children's television series PythagoraSwitch which was broadcast on the educational channel of NHK, a Japanese non-profit public broadcasting service. It is performed by the comedy group Itsumo Kokokara with variable groups (it differs at each air) such as firefighters, soccer players, Yasugi-bushi preservation society, Vienna Boys' Choir, Blue Man Group, ninja and so on.

Description
The basic steps are as follows, repeating as necessary:
 * 1) Bend knees, reach out straight with hands
 * 2) Lean back with arms akimbo ("big shot")
 * 3) Turn around, bow
 * 4) Face right, right hand horizon sweep
 * 5) Bend knees, breaststroke
 * 6) Bend down and pretend to pick up a chestnut from the ground
 * 7) Shake arms downwards, like pumping a bicycle tire
 * 8) Flap arms as though being inflated by a pump

The dance can be performed in lines, moving canon style one at a time. After each movement, the line takes a step forward.
