Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: External on the TP, internal on the sway
Purpose: To warm up or cool down the body and to experience meditative flow in the move

First move: Is a gentle sway OTS. It’s soft, gentle and delicate. You can invite people to close their eyes and let the music inspire how they dance their sway.

Second move: Is a Slow-quick-quick. Cue on the beat as you move, until everyone is successfully united in the rhythm.
Use the style words to inspire their full expression, and coach for whole use of space and turning as they dance it. Allow arms to dance expressively.
