Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: external
Purpose: connecting with other participants in an easy and fun way.

This is a great song to connect with other participants.
It’s peppy and cheesy and all we do is walk and put a big smile on.

First move: Have everyone connect to the beat and walk, peppy, and fun, 1-2-1-2. Get them to add their elbows while they walk,
creatively around each other.

Second move: when you want, get them to partner up with a friend nearby, elbow swing-a-partner walk with that friend. Cheesy
smile on your face.
Change direction, makes it more fun, change partner and change direction again.

Go back to the solo walk and partner them up again when you want.

Transitions:
No real transitions in this song, you’re free to cue them on their own and partnered up whenever you want.
