Pre-Teach: No

Purpose: To connect to the sound in the music and inspire joy

First move: Clap (or snap). Start out clapping, kind of like going to church. Take them all around your body. Everywhere. Be creative. Levels.
If you want to snap or mix it up, go ahead. Make sure you’re also using your body. Make it like you’re going to church. Lots of energy.
Remember there’s above you and below you. Behind you even. Pick those feet up. Let your body dance while you clap.
Where haven’t you clapped? How creative can you be? Clap around other people or with other people.
When you clap down, dance it down.

Second move: Point. To someone different each time. (There are 3 points where he says You, you, you…)
