Colonel Bogey by Renato Carosone

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: Yes, you can show the partner march before the music starts, but don’t have to.
Focus: External
Purpose: To have people interact with each other

This song is a short, cute interaction song. It’s playful, Silly, light, happy and carefree.

Pre-Teach: You can show the partner march and have them do it with you. Tell them to find a partner and march together, have them change partners a few times so they get the idea.

First move: travel and whistle. People can travel anyway they want, walk, skip – as long as they whistle. If they cannot whistle – no worries!
Just pretend, or make sound the way you want. Have them travel the whole room, and use the style words to keep them in playful and light atmosphere.

Second move: march with a partner – or more partners. The music tells you clearly to march and you just have them find a partner and march shoulder to shoulder, facilitate change in partners and you can invite them to gather several people in every group as they march

Third move: slow and sweet swing your partner. You facilitate when they change directions and change partners.

Transitions:
0:00 travel&whistle
0:34 march with partner(s)
1:04 travel&whistle
1:34 slow swing your partner
