Pump by Valentino Khan (KIDS)

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No Focus: External Purpose: To connect your kids with the music and scarves in a pump dance.

First move: Arm-Dance. Start with one arm. Let’s see how you make your scarf dance. High. Low. Make it make circles. Sweet. Now try the other arm. Are you ready to dance your arms together? Let’s see what you’ve got. Behind you. Through your legs. Lift a leg and let your scarf dance under. All kinds of possibilities, right? Let’s see what all you can do with your scarves. Take those scarves all over. Can you tangle yourself up? How crazy can your scarves dance? Play. You can’t get it wrong. They can move together or separate.

Second move: 1-2-3-Knee. “Like That”- the first time this sequence starts it had the lyrics every time so get your class to point at different people and say “like that” on the knee. Younger kids might not get the knee so you can just have them do 1-2-3 “Like That”. Who else can you go to? Who else? Keep doing it. “Like That”.

Third move: OTS Scarf dance. This is fun and the music speeds up to guide the movement… you can say “do you feel the music speeding up?” and ask, “how fast can your scarves dance”? Try to get their whole bodies moving fast with the crazy scarves.
