Summary: video (Media Noche). Stamp twice then clap twice
Description:
Enchufa then before changing to the next partner, the leader stamps his right foot twice (beats 1 and 3), then claps twice (beats 5 and 7). The follower stamps her left twice and claps twice at the same time as the leader. Followed by a Dile Que No.
This can be called as Pelota Con Cuatro, which is the same but with 4 stamps and 4 claps. Alternatively, Pelota con Dos signals the four stamps "with two (claps)" (i.e., clap on each of the last two stamps).
The name might refer to the noisy skittering of the ball around the roulette wheel.
