<p>4.	Find a new partner (both people).</p>
<p>5.	Show each other previously learned handshake steps.</p>
<p>6.	With new partner collaborate to decide which of the two handshakes to build on.</p>
<p>7.	Work with new partner (from step 4) to add two new handshake steps to previously chosen handshake (from step 6).</p>
<p>8.	Practice, make sure both partners know all 4 steps and can teach it to someone else.</p>
<p>9.	Repeat steps 4 through 7.</p>
