Lean on Me by Club Nouveau (KIDS)

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No Focus: External Purpose: Build connection to group and music

Note* This song starts with a long intro where you would just get them on the spot swaying or ask them to put their hands on their heart.

First move: The first move is a clap with the music. Tell them to relax their body and be creative with their claps. They should also travel around the space and begin interacting with their claps. You can also remind them to clap the floor, walls, their body. Be creative and have fun!

Second move: Back to back leaning with someone and dance. Remind them to be gentle with their partner. You want to see their arms dancing! They can get low if they want as well!

Third move: Step and bounce. This move comes in near the end of the song and it has a reggae feel to it. Add the arms and groove it!
