Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: External
Purpose: To warm up the body

First move: Slow walk. Connect your feet to the beat: walk 1,2-1,2. It’s soft, light and gentle. You can walk sideways. You can walk backwards.
Start to add your arms and hands. Soft, expressive movements with your arms and hands, like you are decorating the space around you with your soft movement.
How can you dance your slow walk?
How can you express it in your own way? Let me remind you that your way is the right way. Let your body move in a way that feels good to you. You can’t get it wrong.
Soften your face. Let your head move softly with it.
What happens if you allow your spine to move softly too? Maybe your shoulders?
Listen to the music and let it inspire your dance right now.

Second move: Tempo walk. Listen to the song and connect to the beat. It’s a little faster now and little funky too. It’s still light and soft – but see if you can add that funkiness to your dance.
Give yourself permission to add your own personality and style.
You can get your head bouncing softly. Maybe you can add your arms to your dance?
Have you tried turning yet?
Have you tried using your levels? Have you tried to lower your center of gravity or maybe come up on your toes once in a while?
This is your dance floor, your space to express yourself – how does the song make you want to dance? Can you get your whole body involved?
Is there any part of your body you haven’t moved yet?
