This song is all walking! Super easy. You just follow the flow of the music.

Start them out with a walk on the beat, You can count 1-2, 1-2 or walk walk until you see everyone is connected. Then invite them to use their arms, explore different directions.
Follow the music, it will tell you when to slow your walk. Just listen to the music and flow with it.
Go slow when it tells you to go slow, tempo when the beat kicks in. Keep inviting them to dance it. Explore the whole space. Keep a funky, relaxed style, but make it feel good in your body.
Nice and easy with the whole body. Keep the whole body dancing while you walk. Make sure you use your arms on the slow walk too. What does it look like if you put your head in it?
