This is a fun, lively song with an Irish Celtic theme!

First move: The first move, which is during the verse, is 1-2-stomp-stomp-stomp with the accent on the stomps.
As it is an Irish song, the arms will be up in the air, sometimes behind the back and head up high.

Second move: Skip, or swing your partner. There are four instrumental chorus sections.
The first two are quite short so groovers can just skip around the room.
The second two are longer and are great for interaction by swinging a partner.
You can decide on the size of the class, which move you will facilitate.
Can add claps if skipping on your own.

Transitions are clear but listen to the song first so you know when the shorter instrumental sections begin and end so you can give
groovers enough warning.
