Dominick the Donkey by Lou Monte

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: Yes
Focus: External
Purpose: To be goofy and funny and ridiculous.

Pre-Teach: Okay everybody, there’s a little combo in this song. Bend your knees and wiggle wiggle, then hee-haw hee-haw, then walk somewhere new. Try it with me: wiggly wiggly, hee-haw hee-haw, walk somewhere new.

First move: Goofy Walk. Bend your elbows. Bend your knees. Goofy. With your elbows. Goofy with people you go by. You can’t get it wrong. You just have to give yourself permission to be a little goofy. Show me goofy elbows and arms. Faces. All of your directions. Silly.

Second move: Poses *(these start the 2nd time you go to the Goofy walk)

Third move: Combo (Wiggly, Wiggly, Hee-Haw Hee Haw, Walk Somewhere New). Tail wiggles.

Fourth move: Shuffle. Arms out. Sing it. Traveling in different directions. Through the space. Sing it if you want.
