Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: no, if you have experiences groovers who can do the 1-2-123, if not, better to pre-teach that
Focus: internal/external
Purpose: to cool down and recover, experience softness in the movement.

Pre-Teach: the rhythm-pattern “soft arm, soft arm, 123” if you have new groovers

First Move: OTS arms: with soft and elegant arm moves. It’s all about the arms in this song.
Soft, gentle, relaxed and flowing. Breath with your arms. Explore the space around you.

Second Move: arm arm,123. When he starts singing do a soft-arm-move and another one, then 123 (basically a 1-2-123 but instead of the two steps, use the two soft-arm-moves and then add the 123).
The intensity rises during the chorus and is less during the verse. Focus more and more inwards. Follow the intensity of the music in your expression.
Explore all your directions and the space.
