The clock strikes 12

It is played on the flute

7. The dancing continues!

8. Some of the instruments we hear during the dance

9. More and more skeletons come out to dance

10. The wind howls through the trees

11. Death retunes its violin

12. Can you hear the skeletons laughing?

13. The dance is getting faster and louder as more join in!
