Bow Down Mister (A Small Portion 2 B Polite Mix) by Jesus Loves You

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: The Bow-down-walk-backwards-dance-walk-four and the circle dance Focus: External Purpose: To create connection within the group through honoring and bowing to each other

Pre-teach: In this song we are going to be bowing and honoring each other. So try this with me: walk backwards for four as you put your hands together and bow to someone in the room, and then dance walk forward. Again, bow to someone new as you walk backwards.

At the end of the song we will create a circle. So stand in a circle, and when he sings lift your hands I want you to lift your arms and dance as if you are praising something! Then we dance to the middle for four lifting our hands – do it with me – and then dance back for four lowering the hands again.

First Move: happy walk. Walk to the beat: 1,2-1,2. This is a light and happy walk, so put a little pep in your step. You can even try lifting your knees a little higher than usual to get into that happy feel. Can you walk backwards? Turn maybe? What about walking sideways? What happens if you lift your arms and let them move too? What happens if you add a smile to your dance walk? Keep moving into the open spaces on the dance floor. Feel free to smile at your fellow groovers as you pass them. You can’t get it wrong, I promise! Walk to the beat with your style and personality – you got it!

Second Move: Bow-down-walk-backwards-dance-walk-four. Now put your hands together and bow down walking backwards. Nice now dance walk forward again. Do it again! Bow down and look at someone as you do it. Dance walk again. Bow to someone new if you can and give them a smile along the way. Let’s honor each other and bow! Dance your bow in your own unique way – your way is the right way

Third move: step-clap. Now step-clap! Let your whole body get in it, head bouncing, shoulders moving – dance it! As you step clap, figure out how to create a circle – big circle – and keep step clapping to the music.

Fourth move: Lift hands. Lift your hands and show me praising and worshipping in your own way! I don’t care what you praise – but show me how you go all in – full body dancing it! Don’t hold back – don’t censor yourself – let’s worship! Play with it and make it feel good!

Fifth move: circle dance. To the middle! Lift your hands! Now go back – arms down again. Yeah do it again and sing along if you want! Have fun with it and make it feel good!
