Valerie (feat. Amy Winehouse) by Mark Ronson

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: External
Purpose: Warm up, starting to play with rhythm in upper and lower body

First move: Dance Walk – Put the beat in your feet. Be sure to dance all the beats you hear in the music, nice and peppy with a little bounce.
Adding elbows, knees and lots of direction changes around each other!

Second move: 1-2-123 (Arm and Arm on 123). This is on the chorus so encourage them to sing along.
Also have them connect with each other on the arm and arm part!

Third move: BREAK – there is short slow dramatic walk for 8 counts, then back up to tempo

Transitions:
0:00 Dance Walk
0:48 1-2-123 (Arm and Arm on 123)
1:06 Dance Walk
2:01 1-2-123 (Arm and Arm on 123)
2:19 BREAK – Slow Drama Walk
2:28 Dance Walk
2:55 1-2-123 (Arm and Arm on 123)
Drama Finish!!!
