Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: Yes, the second move
Focus: External
Purpose: to connect to a bit more complicated rhythm and be playful with it.

First move: Slow walk, really elegant, use your arms to express, explore all directions, really expressive, looking away for no reason. Elegant, sophisticated and easy. Lots of confidence.

Second move: Slow-Slow-1-2-123. Since it’s Latin, say slow-slow-1-2-chachacha.
If the 1-2-123 in here doesn’t work, just walk it instead of the 123. Really express it, lots of arms, put your drama in your movement.

Third move: Slow walk with accents in the arms, listen to the music, there’s stronger nuances where the arms come more into play.
There’s a pause in the song, hold, and look around.
