Break My Stride by Matthew Wilder

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: External
Purpose: warm the body up, explore the space and directions

This whole song is an easy walk!
Have them connect to the beat, dance their walks and begin to connect with each other and the room!
Use the lyrics to inspire things that you can say “Keep on Moving” in new directions, “nothing gonna break my stride” have them
cross each other’s path without breaking stride, etc.

Have them sing along and sing to each other as they dance through the room.
Remind them to focus on their breath to be sure the body is warming up and to dance their arms in all directions and all ways they can come up with!
Transitions:
There are no transitions, just suggestions from you on how to move throughout the space, around each other and how to
incorporate other body parts into the dance.
Also lots of time for connections with others on the DANCEfloor!
