This song is easy-going, fun to sing along to and a gentle way to either get the body warming up or to cool it down!

First move: Slow-Quick-Quick- Easy travel through the space with this rhythm.
Let it slide across the floor adding lots of turns and singing along!
Second move: Walk – take little steps to the beat, not too much travel and raise and lower arms with the “AHS” and “OOHS” in the music.
Gently expressing the singing and enjoying the soft movements in your body!
