The choreography of the hand rub dance was based on the different steps of hand hygiene (palm to palm, palm over dorsum, fingers interlaced, backs of fingers, thumbs, fingertips and wrists). Tool, also available in an English version, included a methods guide with practical and technical information, a didactic video, a training video and a royalty-free original music (http://danse-du-sha.fr/).
