Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: External
Purpose: To warm up the body and explore creative sound-play.

First move: is clap. Once they are successfully connected to the clap, have them travel it while exploring clapping somewhere new every time.
You can invite interactions and have people clapping together as well. Use the style words to get them into the light, easygoing, loving feel of the song.

Second move: is 1-2-123. It’s quite slow so you have time to play with big steps and really travel with the 123. Play with turns and encourage them to sing along if they know the song.

Third move: is march. Connect them to the beat, have them travel the room, and as the beat picks up have them stay OTS with fast feet building into the chorus again.

Transition:
0:00 Clap
0:41 1-2-123
1:04 Clap
1:23 1-2-123
1:45 March, then into fast feet
2:07 1-2-123
