Shake Your Thang (It’s your Thing) by Salt-N-Pepa

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: no
Focus: external
Purpose: To warm up the body and mobilize hip joints

First move: Connect them into the walk 4, dance 4. You can invite them to move around the space in different directions in the walk and to dance it a little differently every time.
Adding lots of personality.

Second move: OTS wiggle. It’s a simple verse chorus so each time they hit the chorus ask them to stay where they are and dance it anyway they like.
Or “wiggle” any way they like. Invite them to use their arms and head and LOTS of BUTT! Make it unique. Use style words to get them dancing it, e.g. funky, groovy, chill.
