Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No Focus: External Purpose: To introduce kids to a new genre and sound of music as you help them discover how the sound makes their bodies want to move different.

First move: Tap those Toes. Let’s see those toe taps. All kinds of ways that you can tap your toes. But keep it kind of jazzy feeling. Peppy. Bouncy. Fun. Upbeat. You’ve got it. Are there other ways you can tap? Keep trying new ways. Very peppy, bouncy and fun exploration!
Other moves: Various-Moves. Try kicks, 1 2 3, peppy steps, twists, jazz hands and stylized movements. Keep playing with your movements. Encourage lots of creativity and pizzaz! Super high energy fun.
