The dance originated as an instrumental jig except for when it comes to the \u2018pop goes the weasel\u2019 part. This is then sung as one pair of dancers move under the arms of the other dancers.<\/p>\n
There are lots of theories behind the phrase P\u2019op Goes the Weasel\u2019. According to reports a weasel can be\u00a0a tailor\u2019s flat iron, silver-plate dishes, a dead animal, a hatter\u2019s tool, or a\u00a0spinner\u2019s weasel.<\/p>\n
Did you know there\u2019s a national \u2018Pop Goes the Weasel Day in the USA? It\u2019s on June 14 in case you want to join in the fun^<\/p>\n
