Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: external
Purpose: To create interaction.
When you’re doing connection songs, it’s always soft. The more over the top you are, the more they’ll get into it.
First move: Waltz (down-up-up, 123). Doesn’t matter what foot. It’s a little over the top with your arms. Try a turn. Elegant in your upper body. Lovely beautiful arms. Try different directions and turns.

Second move; Waltz together. Find a partner. Soft hands. Connect and create a little waltz together. Find a different partner each time if possible. See where else in the room you can take your partner.

Third move: Hug and sway (this is an option. If it’s too much, have them waltz together).
