Finesse by Bruno Mars (KIDS)

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: Yes just dripping & 4 heels
Focus: External
Purpose: Warm up, Connect with each other, Confidence
First move: Dance walk. Ask your students to connect to the beat and dance walk around the space. Invite lots of interactions, high 5s and dance together! Lots of funky style with this song. Inviting arm movements and whole body should be dancing.
Second move: Drippin’ & 4 heels. This is a cool drip kind of action with hands and they can melt their body if they want followed by 4 heels.
Remember, little children don’t need to do the 4 heels as it could be too fast for them.
Third move: Walk 2 dance 2. This will help them get more into the funky style. Encourage a lot of arm movement and upper body dancing on the dance 2.
Invite interactions and creativity each time.
Fourth move: Poses. You’ll hear the poses in the song and how one should transition into the other. Remind them this is about confidence and style so lots of confidence with the poses!
