Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: The waltz
Focus: External
Purpose: To warm up or cool down the body

First move On the spot arm accents. Start where you are, listen to the music and start to gently and elegantly accent your arms to the music.
Light and soft. Lift your chest, show me some confidence and expression with your arm movement. Explore all the space around you, above you, below you. Get your whole body into your accent, light and soft.
Can you add your style and essence? Remember the space behind you. Take your time, delicate and soft.
Do it your way, make it yours. Can you accent differently each time?

Second move Waltz. Now start to hear the waltz rhythm, gently down up up, down up up. Small and light in your feet. Down up up, down up up. Can you explore and travel through the whole room? Allow your arms to dance as you waltz, you can’t get it wrong, just pick up your arms and let them flow. Dance this waltz your way. You can even turn with your waltz. Let your head move with your arms. Can you dance this waltz with your whole body. Put your style and essence into it.
