We No Speak Americano by Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP (KIDS)

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: Yes. Teach the Charleston.
Focus: External
Purpose: Build Arm Strength

First move: Cheesy smile – Can you show me the cheesiest, happiest smile as you walk around? Like you’re so happy, you can’t stand it? What would your arms do?
Second time through: Now we’re going to bring it up to a skip! High fives for all the work you did.

Second move: Punches – Freeze where you are. We’re going to have a little punching party.
Now show me these punches all around you. Try low. Beautiful. You might double them up.

Third move: Charleston – Let’s move to the middle. We’ll try this new move all together.
We’ll kick forward. Now back. Kick forward. And back. Again. Now let’s try a little faster. You might try to kick a little higher. Amazing! Keep going!
Now freeze. Let’s try the other side. Here we go. Front. Back. Front. Back. Yes! High and low.
