Inuit Games

Siturtaq is a dance contest. Like many Inuit games, it tests one's agility and endurance. The contestants start in a squatting position, facing each other in a circle. The dance involves kicking one leg out while maintaining the squat position with the other, alternating legs back and forth. When you hit the floor, your out! The dance ends when the last dancer hits the floor.

It's not easy, but it's lots of fun -- even if your the first one out!
