Lady Bump by Penny McLean

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: Yes – Bump
Focus: External
Purpose: Interaction and connection

Pre-Teach: Let’s learn the bump! Find a partner – bump the hips twice and then jump a half turn and bump twice again. Make sure you demonstrate and have them do it with you so they know what to do when the time comes.

First move: Disco Walk. Put the beat in your feet. Show me your disco style. Travel in all directions. Get your arms dancing. Can you add some turns? Show me lots of personality and style. Dance walk with your disco style. When you hear “look at me” use your arms. Showing your personality. Smile as you walk by someone. Let’s see your unique disco style.

Second move: Bump. Find someone. Here it is. “Lady bump, lady bump.” Now find someone new. Bump, bump, jump, bump, bump. That’s it! New person. Lady bump. Go somewhere else. Stick that booty out. Yes! Find a new friend. Switch. Bump. And go. YES! Do it again. Easier when your knees are bent a little bit. Go somewhere new. Do it again! Find a new friend. Bump. Switch. Bump. And go! Again! You know how to do this. Have fun with it.

Third Move: Shimmy. Shake. Let it all wiggle. You can walk as you shimmy. Move toward someone. Use levels. Let it all go. Your way!
