Do Your Thing by Papa Mali

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No. However, if your crowd needs it, show them what a body roll is and how to do it in different ways.
Focus: External on TP, mostly internal on the OTS move.
Purpose: To lubricate body parts through creative isolated movement.

There is no pre-teach in this song. But, if your crowd needs it, show them what a body roll is and how to do it different ways.
You as the facilitator will asses if it’s necessary to pre-teach this move.

This song is sexy, seductive and alluring in the energy so you want to help people get past their shyness and fear to really dance this song.

First move: Circle a body part or do a body-roll then walk for two. Emphasis is on the style of the song, and getting them to circle something different and in different creative ways every time.

Second move: Butt swing OTS.

This song is great for finger lights. Place the finger light on the inside of your hand, light facing out. On the ‘circle something’ you highlight different parts of your body with the finger light – for example circle the light around your face, butt or what you want.
On the walk you hide your lights.
On the OTS move you take your arms wide to the side, and a little behind you and point to your butt as you swing it side to side, highlighting it.
