***Explicit Language***

Pre-teach – Get ready to ROCK OUT!!! This song has a few transitions that go with the music so make sure you review!
Start them OTS and play air guitar and the bass as you hear it come in. When the beat kicks in (around 0:41), get them walking. Coach for heaviness.
It transitions back to OTS air guitar (around 0:32). Get them to rock out while they play the air guitar. Make sure you nail the double down (see the transitions below).
You want them adding head bangs etc. and walking in the style. Get them to accent the music and sing, of course. Build it up, build it up, they should be SINGING and freaking out 3:20!
Back to heavy walks, even more powerful this time (3:28)!!! Air guitar all over the place from 3:49!
Make them perform their most crazy air guitar solo … make them get up again around 4:31 so they can do their final walk and get them to do an epic ending with their air guitar at the end of the song.
Enjoy, it’s electrifying!
