Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: Yes, the fast-arm. (maybe the 123-123 depending on your crowd) Focus: External Purpose: To increase heart rate and play with accenting sharp rhythms

Pre-teach: Let them know that you will be playing with accenting the arms both slow and fast. Then have them try the fast-arm move with you. ’Think about as if you are throwing something – movement is sharp and fast in all different directions. It comes four times, so it goes arm-arm-arm-arm. Try it with me and throw your arm in a different direction every time: arm-arm-arm-arm!

First move: Is a walk-walk-dance-dance. Connect people to the rhythm, and then have them style their dance with lots of attitude, confidence and a bit of flirt too. Tell them to tell a story with the hands – great way to get the attitude rolling! Ask for directional changes, levels and turns.

Second move: Is the 123-123. It has latin flavour and a flirty vibe. The 123-123 is quick so tell them to keep the steps small, and allow for hips and shoulders to move with it.

Third move: is the slow arm. Connect them to one or both arms moving for four counts – confidence and attitude for sure! It’s like moving poses, so play with levels and allowing the whole body to move with it. Invite people to interact with each other and to be over-the-top-awesome as they dance it.
Fourth move: is the fast arm you pre-taught. You can prepare them by calling it out right before the count: ’get ready for the fast-arm!’.
