Mambo Joy by Benjamin Bidlack (Bodygroove)

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: External
Purpose: to dance to latin rhythms and embody it.

First move: 123-123, Let your participants know that however they hear the 123-123 and dance it is totally up to them. Invite them to bend their knees and relax the body.
That allows the hips to move with your 123-123. Be really playful and joyful, spice it up, add lots of arms.
Creatively dance around each other, add turns, lots of directional changes.

Second move: Shimmy-walk-walk. You’ll hear the change in the music.
Shimmy your shoulders, your upper body and walk-walk, maybe even shimmy close by somebody, briefly looking at each other.

Third move: heel lift, or knee play. Gowever and whatever rhythm you hear in the music, simply lift up your heels, playful with your knees.
Play with it, add your arms, mix up the rhythms, face another direction. Stick your butt out
