Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: yes
Focus: external
Purpose: To mobilize spine and hips and condition the legs

This song is reggae-ton. Dirty, gritty, sexy, lots of attitude.
Pre-teach: Body circle. Stand legs apart, and bend your knees. Then circle your booty and whatever else wants to circle with it.
Then when I say pump, we pump the body like this. (pump the hips and the chest with attitude)
First move: 1-2-dance-dance (1-2 booty booty). The dance part here is kind of a butt dance, so I want to see walk walk booty booty, walk walk booty booty. Be confident. Can you change your direction each time? You can even do this booty dance with a friend. What can you do with your arms? Get your whole body in it. Lots of style and attitude, show me a little gritty and dirty. Confidence in your face. Have you gone backwards yet? Show off your booty.

Second move: Body-circle. Bend your knees. Breathe with it and use your arms. Show me your style and get your whole body into this circle. Lots of attitude. Use your legs, get down! Make it a little dirty and sexy.
Third move: Body pumps. Make your booty shake. Bend your knees and get down. Lots of confidence and attitude. Can you get your arms involved? Do it your way.
There are several changes in this song. Know it well so you know where they come in.
