Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: External
Purpose: to creatively switch between moves and keep your participants engaged

In this song, it doesn’t matter when you switch the move, you get to choose when you want to change and what move you want to go to.
Explore the space. Get the head involved.

First move: Pony – 123-123 pony, super small in the feet. If it’s too complicated for your participants, step and tap works as well.
Get them to play and express with the arms.

Second move: quick-quick-slow, lots of attitude and personality. Accent the slow with lots of arms, turns. Explore the space
Third move: Hip-sway. Kind of like a twist, but it’s more like a hip side to side, check it out in the video, it fits the music better
Lots of arms, cute, sassy.

Transitions:
Doesn’t matter when you change to the next move.
