Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No Focus: External Purpose: To begin this song unite your group in the clap and connect to the feel of the music.

First move: Claps. Alright everyone we are going to have some fun and go a little crazy with our feet… are you ready? Let’s all get into a big circle- whew! Keep clapping.

Second move: Crazy-Feet-Dance. Did you hear that?! When you step inside your feet and body go crazy with dance! If you stay outside in the circle your feet are still crazy and keep clapping to cheer your friends on! Lots of energy in your feet. Keep going. How crazy can your feet dance? You can’t get this wrong. So show me how YOU crazy feet dance. You can even dance together and bring people into the circle! (If you notice the group getting tired or bored, you can switch it to a do-si-do activity).
