Blame It on the Boom Boom by Black Stone Cherry

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: Yes
Focus: External
Purpose: To get to dance authentically to rock/metal music

Pre-Teach: Walk, out, out, boom boom. Hey everybody, we’ll do this several times, so before we start, you just need to learn this. You’ll be walking and then step out, out, and then with the hips, boom boom.

Transitions come quickly so there won’t be a lot of time to coach. Know your music and have fun.

*Start with a rockstar attitude pose.*

First Move: Rocker Walk. Put the beat in your feet and walk with a hard Rock style. Confident. Attitude. Check each other out as you pass each other. Have you gone backwards? Add some turns now and then, but keep your rock star attitude. Lots of directions. Moving to new parts of the room. How cool can you be?

Second Move: Pump Arm in Air and say, “Yeah” to someone.(get everyone to sing it with you)

Third Move: Walk / Out-Out-Boom-Boom.(blame it on the boom boom). Walk now get ready, step out-out knees bent and boom boom with your hips. Aggressive and a little fierce here. Show me your confidence. Put your style in it. Can you walk somewhere different each time? Can you use the whole space? Show me how you rock it! Give me that boom boom.

Fourth Move: Rock Shoulders. Now shimmy and rock those shoulders, you can add your feet if you want but rock it out. Can you put your attitude in it?

Fifth Move: Air Guitar. Use those levels. Head bang it out. Get that air guitar going. Show me. Fierce. Confident. How low can you go?
