Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: External
Purpose: To get people united and ready for the party

First move: Clap. We’re getting funky. Start with a clap, but make it funky.

Second move: Walk 8 arms up / Dance OTS 8. Now walk and give me some arms up on “Paaaaarrrrty”, now stay on the spot and funky dance. How funky can you be? Can you change your direction and party up again? Get those arms up and dancing. Do it your way, with your style and dance it. Show me how funky you can dance it. Change your direction every time. Walk to a friend and funky dance with them. Can you find a new friend to get funky with? Use your levels and see if you can dance it differently every time. Show me your style and personality. How funky can you be?! Do it again. Party up, then OTS make it funky! Your way!

Third move: Step-touch – Now step touch, you can add a clap or snap. Make it yours. But whatever you do, make it funky. Whole body is dancing. You aren’t funky if your head isn’t moving. Put your whole self into it. Can you play with directions? You can even use your levels. Take up space. Travel somewhere new in the room. Your way is the right way. Show me what you can do with your arms. Around each other. Can you make it funky in your face? You can’t get it wrong.
