Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: external
Purpose: feel the intensity of the arm movement together

This is a super high energy, rave, dance song. You may want to demonstrate the technique of the arm movement. It is very distinct. Like a bounce/rebound in the arms to the music.

First Move: sharp arm accents. Really feel this arm movement. Use all your levels and the space around you.
You can also do it with or around other people. Move into the open spaces around you. (This isn’t a pose, it’s an intense arm movement).
At 0:33 second a beat comes in. You can try to put the beat in their feet while they do the arm movement.
This rhythm gets faster and faster. Follow it to build to the rave out.

Second Move: Rave out arms. Go crazy. Let yourself get wild. You can add a bounce or a jump.
Get your whole body into this rave dance. Like you are at the best party of your life.
Explore all the space around you. Even use your legs. Let yourself be wild and free!
