Coaching Notes:

Pre-teach: If you need to pre-teach Macarena but you can also go over it during song intro.
Focus: External
Purpose: To have fun and learn a combo

***If you want to do the Macarena the whole time, that’s an option***

First move: Walk. Move through your space but get them to walk with their hips. Ask for some latin style. You might try backwards. Now and then, let’s see you turn. Awesome! Walk around one another. If you feel like it, you can try a 123, 123 (This would be for older groups). When you walk by someone, can you look at them? Maybe even go toward the outer edges of the room. But as you move, find an interesting way to walk there.

Second move: Macarena. (Out out flip flip shoulder shoulder head head waist waisthip hip circle hey Macarena!) Can I hear you on “Hey Macarena?” Add your own style. Let’s see it. YES! Great job with this combo. You can even face a friend and do it with them. Invite some interactions.
