There’s a soft intro, start with the bob and weave and explain what else is going to happen during the song, the punches, the kicks.
Although this is a fighter song, we never encourage them to punch at somebody else, but feel free to mention a punching bag or fight for a good cause.
First move: Step Punch – explore all the various punches there are
Second move: Faster Dancing Punch – find some fancy feet while punching. Shadow boxing!
