NYC Larceny by Daniel Pemberton (KIDS)

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: Yes
Focus: External
Purpose: exploring secret agent moves
Start with letting them in on a top-secret mission. “We are going on an expedition to find and save some very magical creatures/animals.
A few times on our journey, we have to run and defend ourselves.” It is best to practice the run with ninja-attack move before starting the music!
First move: Looking through binoculars. Ask them to get their binoculars.
“Let us look around and see if we can spot some magical animals!”
Second move: Sneak 4 steps + look-look.
Ask them to look everywhere around the space.
Third move: Roll under and jump over obstacles!
There is no need to think about rhythm on this part.
Fourth move: Run for 6 + Ninja-attack. Demonstrate and shout them through this part: “Now we have to RUUUN!!! Freeze!
Show me a ninja attack! RUUUUN! Another Ninja-attack!” The running and attack repeat 4 times in every chorus.
Transitions:
0:00 Look through binoculars
0:56 Just have them rolling and jumping until
1:23 Run and Ninja-attack 4 times
1:42 Danger averted, let’s look for the magical animals! Get your binoculars again and look all around your body.
Then return to the “sneak 1234 and look-look” when you want to. Encourage them to change directions and vary where they look.
2:37 Run and Ninja-attack 4 times
2:56 Looking around you and “sneak 1234 and look-look”
3:23 Run and Ninja-attack times 4
