3 Cool Cats by Ry Cooder

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: External
Purpose: To get lost in the rhythm and let it guide you through the whole song.

First move: Slow-Slow-1-2-cha-cha-cha. Almost this whole song has one rhythm so let’s try it. Slow-Slow-1-2-cha-cha-cha. Again, Slow-Slow-1-2-cha-cha-cha. Try it with me. Slow-Slow-1-2-cha-cha-cha. Now start to travel. Make it cool and smooth with lots of confidence. Slow-Slow-1-2-cha-cha-cha. Let your arms dance with your body. Let them be smooth and cool as you dance. Explore your space. Have you tried all directions? You can go backwards, sideways, and play with maybe a turn now and then. Let your arms and your shoulders dance. The confidence even comes our of your face. Bend your knees a little and let’s see those hips dancing. Show me all the directions you can go. Around and between each other. Lots of attitude. Lots of style. More cool. Smooth. Yes! Do it your way! You can’t get it wrong. At the end of the song invite them to do it softer and softer till the song ends. But don’t loose your style.

Second move: Slow-Quick-Quick. New rhythm. Slow-Quick-Quick. Slow-Quick-Quick, Still going in all directions. Keep it cool, relaxed and confident. Show your cool yummy style. Explore your directions. Your way is the best way. Let your arms arms dance with your body. Now show me an awesome pose!
