This song is happy, energetic, playful, peppy, carefree, light and uplifting.

First move is a peppy walk. The music will inspire the style, and tell your people to add their hands, arms and head as they travel the peppy walk.
Use the style words to keep them connected to the energy and feel and invite them to give a big fat smile to a fellow groover as they dance.
Coach for levels, directions, lots of turns and full body dancing!

Second move is pose and bounce. Have them try out new poses every time using their levels and sticking out body parts.
In every pose they add a soft bounce with hips or shoulders. Be playful and invite to interaction with people posing with the person next to them.

Third move only comes once and is just posing without the bounces, it’s clear in the song when this part starts.
