Purpose: To open the chest, bringing in joy.
There are about 8 counts in the intro of the song where you can simply breathe before the tempo kicks in.

First move: Walk-4-Dance-4. Make it so funky. Get your whole body in it. Get your head in it. Use those arms. Here we go. Put lots of style in it. Personality, Use those arms.

Second move: Arm-Clap. These arms open out and clap up. Keep the chest up. Big arm clap. Up over your head.
If you’re on zoom, up to the screen. If you’re in a group, bring them together to the center. Sing it if you feel like it.
Keep those arms going. Awesome. Make it smaller. Let’s all go down together. Dance that clap. Like you’re going to church.
