Purpose: To explore creative sound-play and warm up the body

First move: Dance Dance Snap – center yourself around this beat. Dance, dance, snap. Snap in different places every time!
You can travel the dance or stay OTS, mix it up!! Lots of creative options here, keep the whole body dancing.

Second move: OTS drama arms – play with magic – dramatically reach the arms in various places like you are playing with magic and sending love out to the whole world with your energy!

Third move: Bounce, low to high – start this bounce low, and let it grow! Use the music to lift you up, arms over head, pumping it up. Use the lyrics….”Are you ready?”
