Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: Yes, briefly show them that in the chorus they dance around each other and sing.
Focus: External
Purpose: To sing and connect together

Pre-Teach: Simply tell your people that when the chorus kicks in, they walk up to someone and dance and sing with them for a little
while, then walk to a new person and do it again.

First move: Is a dance walk. It’s happy, peppy, playful, cool and it invites for lots of personality.
Have them explore the space with directions, levels, turns and full body dancing.
Coach for getting the arms and head dancing as well.

Second move: is a dance-walk and sing to each other. When the chorus kicks in, have them find a partner, dance around them and
sing.
Facilitate the transition into finding a new partner. Invite them to sing loud and with lots of energy, no one cares what it sounds like-
just make lots of sound and have fun with it!
