Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: internal
Purpose: To connect to sensuality and femininity.

First move: 1-2-3-accent. Right away, I want you to hear the 1-2-3 bah! On that bah, create some kind of shape. Walk on the 1-2-3. Now add drama and sensuality. Add some drama to those accents. Use your levels.
Second move: Body-rolls/circles. These are soft and sensual. On the spot, plant your feet. Do your own sensual dance on the spot.
(Notice the song is a little softer here and that accent goes away). All of the ways you can circle and roll and wave through your body. Creativity with your arms. You might even touch your body on this part. Lots of breath. Be aware of where you’re going in the travel part, but it’s still more internal. This one, you can listen for the changes in the music for the transitions in movements, but you really can’t get it wrong in going back and forth.
