I Don’t need It by Jamie Foxx

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: OTS talk to the hand move only
Focus: external
Purpose: warm up the body and to explore playing with body language

***Explicit Language***

First move: Funky dance walk. Have them move around the space connected in the 1-2 rhythm of a walk, adding style, personality, funk and attitude.

Second move: Talk to the hand. On the spot ask them to express with their hands some attitude.
You can teach it as a roll of the wrist and push away or any way that feels really good for them. Invite them to use their faces and their whole body, exploring all their levels, movement with the head, getting the whole body involved.

It’s a back and forth from verse to chorus for both moves. Really important to emphasize the style. You can encourage a “stank face”, confidence, cool, etc.
