***Explicit Language***

First move: Walk. Put the beat in your feet – 1,2-1,2. Show me chest high, shoulders back and walk with confidence. Cool. This song is about owning who you are no matter what people might say or think. So show me how awesome you are and dance your walk. Can you turn it? Can you move sideways and backwards? Can you add your arms? What would it look like if you put your whole body into the dance walk right now? Full body dancing. Feel that rock vibe in the song? Add that to your dance – you’re the coolest! This song is all about giving yourself permission to be YOU – so don’t censor yourself – allow yourself to dance it YOUR way. Add your personality and style and dance your walk with confidence.

Second move: Groove out. PARTY TIME! Now let it all go and DANCE! Let your body move to the music! Your head, your arms, your hair – let your whole body move. You can travel or stay on the spot. Give yourself permission to be wild, crazy and carefree! How do you feel like moving right now? Do it! You way is the right way – I promise! You can’t get it wrong! Have you moved your arms yet? Even put your face in it! Sing it if you know it. Can you use your levels? Have you tried jumping? How can you get your party on? No one truly cares what you look like – make it feel good and have a PARTY in your body!

Third move: Slow walk. Slow it down and walk. Relax your body, breathe big.
