***Explicit Language***

First move, goofy poses. Start with goofy poses, have them change whenever they want. That’s with the little intro until the rhythm starts. Make them really goofy!

Second move: walk (without and with a partner). When the rhythm comes in, it’s a fun, happy, easy-going walk, maybe even add a 123, whatever you want to do. Swing your arms along, happy and joyful. Put a smile on your face. Have them grab somebody else’s hand and walk along with that somebody. Sing and whistle with each other. Let go of your friend after a while and find a new friend to walk and dance along. The walk might end up in a happy dance together, even while you’re holding hands, and it might not even stay as a walk with each other, it may change into a dance with each other. And don’t forget, sing-along whenever possible. Always look on the bright side of life!|
