***Explicit Language***

You only need to pre-teach the 6 walks and knee, the rest is pretty straightforward.

First Move: walk 6 and knee. Invite them to move the walk in different directions, add arms and add a “HEY” on the knee with the
music.

Second Move: Poses and pose and bounce. Dramatic, confident poses. Adding a bounce to the pose as the music asks for it.

Third Move: Diva walk. Cue them for style and confidence, invite them to be over the top, outrageous with their style and personality.

Fourth Move: Claps. You’ll hear it in the music. Ask them to hold it right there and start clapping, all around their bodies and dance
the claps.
