This is a great party song, and most people will know it and sing along. Maybe not this version, but check it out and see for yourself.

First move: Clap with the music, all around, mainly above, kind of like you want the party to get started.

Second move: Dance walk, connect them to the rhythm and have them sing along, and creatively dance walk around each other. Use
your arms to express the lyrics.

Third move: The music picks up a big, get into a shuffle, happy, joyful, cheerful, fun and playful.

Forth move: Pose-Act-Clap, listen to the lyrics, act with your arms, over exaggerate the moves, play with it, act with somebody else on
the dancefloor, get that party started and sing it if you know it.
