Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No Focus: External Purpose: Create powerful connection with the combo.

Teach the little arm combo with the intro of the song, you have enough time for it. Check the video, do a little dance (arm-dance), make a little love (butt-pump), get down tonight (get-down).

First Move: Funky dance-walk. Start with a funky walk when the beat kicks in, pick up your feet, get your arms moving, get your hair and your head dancing. Funky in your face. Lots of style and personality while you funky walk.

Second Move: Combo (arm-dance, butt-pump, get-down). When the chorus comes in, you’ll hear it. Do the combo, change direction when you do it. Express it in your face, yeah!

Third Move: Get down for 8, walk somewhere new for 8. Do it near somebody if available, or look at somebody while you do it.
