Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: External
Purpose: To increase heart rate and explore celebratory energy through movement!

First move: Walk 2, Dance 2 – this is a hip hop style, low, confident, powerful! This section can seem long unless you offer many variety of ways for them to express it.

Have them sing along, use their faces, interact with each other, go in different directions, do the dance with different body parts, but keep it in that hip hop style.

Second move: Walk with raise-the-roof arms! This happens mostly on the chorus! Good to sing along. This is a praise and worship song, so let yourself feel joyful and hopeful raising the conscious energy and vibration of this world!
