FORMATION
 One circle, dancers equally spaced round the circle, facing in

 DANCE - WIND UP
 Dancers with the same coloured ribbon (e.g. all the reds) dance clockwise once round the pole finishing in original place (8 bars). Then all dancers with another colour (e,g all the yellows) dance clockwise round the pole finishing in original place (8 bars). Dance repeats until all colours have been used+

 DANCE - UNWIND
 Outside dancers reverse direction and order of dance. Finish facing out and bow.
 
NOTES
 It helps if the colours are fixed to the pole in sequence (e.g. red/yellow/blue/green) all the way round. The next colour to go will then be the one to the right of the last colour that went. Once all the colours have been used, it is possible t continue the sequence for a second time which then gives a ‘stem’ to the chrysanthemum flower. This is a good dance for younger children who know their colours
