Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: no
Focus: External
Purpose: To create connections on the dancefloor and explore using the voice as part of the dance, and to be corny and playful

First move: Peppy walk or kick: The song starts with a peppy 80’s walk or little kick. Give me that 80’s style in your arms, Use the whole room, smile at each other as you go past them. Show me what you got. Put your style and personality into it.

Second move: twist and Point: have them pointing at each other as they sing you you you , and when they dance OTS invite them to do it with their personality and flavor.
Try to direct your attention to someone new every time

Zoom: have them come near the camera and twist and point to people as they sing YOU.. you make my dreams come true. But be creative with your twist, get your whole body dancing.

Third move: Then there will be 2 playful poses and pause 2 times, dance/twist in between and then the 2 poses and come back.
You will hear it in the music. This happens for three rounds
