Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: External
Purpose: Drama, acting

First move: We start with a funny banjo. Make it very country like!

Second move: Then we do a chicken walk. Knees up, flap your elbows. You can make chicken noises if you like! Get your elbows up!
What kind of chicken are you? Happy, funky?
Go up to someone and make a funny chicken noise! Show me your chicken personality.

Third move: The other move is a side step for 8 counts then switch legs. Count it out! You can add a clap on 8 if you like. Later we do 4 counts instead.
Later in the song there is a TURBO ROUND! Side step 8 counts, very small and fast! Go! Go legs!

Fourth move: 4 dramatic poses to the floor
