Coaching Notes:

We are starting with the waltz rhythm, connect kids 7 and older with the 123 rhythm. With the younger kids, just have them walk tiptoes.
The song builds up, it starts gentle and soft.
Start with the Shhh, and connect them to the down up up, or 123-123.
The music changes, it’s a step and kick, get some Broadway in it. Explore the space.
Freeze when the music changes, back to the waltz, 123-123. Freeze. Grab a partner, get your arms on their shoulder and step and kick together. Hold on to your partner and do the waltz together. Be really gentle with your partner. Back to the step and kick, different partner, big smile!
Freeze – back to the waltz with a partner, really gentle.
Back and forth, the music tells you.
At the end, get them to pose, change poses, big Broadway poses!
Beautiful song.
