Pickle-in-the-Middle, a different take

The pickle maintains equi-distance between his partners & their belts on either side
as the belt holders walk around while also
maintaining consistant distance.

Not so easy!
Set belt on floor & shape it.
Forinstance as a letter or a number.
Walk it on tip toes.
