We Speak No Americano (UK Radio Edit) by Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: Yes
Focus: External
Purpose: To increase heart rate and mobilize hip joints and lower spine

Pre-teach: Demonstrate the ‘Walk 4, kick x 2’ combo, and then get them to practice it with you so that you know they have got it.

First move: is a Cute & Sassy Walk – Connect them to the rhythm and then have them explore the room as they play with directions,
turns, and embody the style.
Help them be creative in different ways: ‘Can you add your arms? How can you dance it as you walk? Can you move your shoulders,
what does sassy look like to you?

Show me how cute and sassy you can do your dance walk, have you tried turning it yet, maybe you can dance it backwards?’.

Second move: is the Combo Walk x 4 – Kick x 2 – Count them in while you do the move until everyone is successful.
Give options of kicking in different directions and playing with how low or high you kick it. Inspire them to add the hands in little
flicks or to use shoulders, arms, and head in the dance as well.
‘Show me how you kick somewhere new every single time, can you dance your kicks? Don’t copy anyone else – show me YOUR
unique expression, you cannot get it wrong!´.

Third Move: are OTS Poses – ask them to pose however they like but to make it different every time.
