I am pretty sure you would have come across this Wikipedia entry for dappan kuthu but the current version has undergone significant revisions from what it used to be sometime (eons in internet time) ago... so I decided to dig in the history of the article and pulled up the How To which was there available in this edit...
The following steps may be taken as a basic dance pattern for beginners. Dappaankuthu is essentially freeform, and each dancer makes of it what he or she will.and just for the heck of it, couple of videos
1. Take one step with your foot.
2. If you just brought your left foot forward, point your left fist to the sky and your right fist directly ahead, otherwise do the opposite.
3. If you bring your left fist skyward, look straight ahead or slightly upwards, otherwise look down at your feet.
4. The above three steps must be done simultaneously.
5. Bob your torso up and down once.
6. Repeat with the other foot.
7. Maintain a pace of one step every second, with a bob equidistant between every two steps.
and my all time favorite from 12B
