Cheesy song, great with kids, try it with adults, just as much fun I bet!
You basically need to listen to the song a couple of times.
The base move is walk, then clap, stomp, woohoo comes in with that, the lyrics tell you and your participants exactly what to do.
You may need to say it out loud for your participants what’s coming, so everyone is aware and ready.
Let’s that inner child out, so much fun.
