Love Is In The Air (Ballroom Mix) by John Paul Young

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: Yes, the partner twirl
Focus: External
Purpose: To create fun interactions on the dancefloor

Pre-teach: In this song we are going to twirl with each other.
Turn to the person next to you and grab their wrist. Hold on, lean back a little and twirl together. Be mindful not going too fast and also be mindful of the people around you so you don’t hit anyone.
Change arms and twirl the other way. Put a smile on your face and have fun with it! This is a great way to stimulate the vestibular system – but, not if you get nauseous, so take care of yourself.
First move: look around. Have people get close together. Start to look around at everyone in the group. Just a few seconds and then let your eyes move on. You can put a big smile on your face as you look around at everyone in the group. Someone you haven’t made eye contact with yet?

Second move: dancewalk. Hear that beat? Start to walk to the beat – but dance it! It’s light and joyful so see how you can put that in your dance.
You can dance backwards, sideways, you can turn and use your levels. How can you travel the room in different ways?
Maybe you wanna add a smile to your dance?
And sing along and let your voice dance too!
Can you add your arms? And your hands?
Anytime you feel like it add a 123 to your dance.
Can you get your hips moving?
Show me how you get your whole body dancing – you can’t get it wrong!
Allow yourself to be playful and express your dance in your own unique way – you got this!

Third move: twirl with partner. Now grab the peron closest to you and twirl together! Not too fast, not too wild – but have fun with it!
Change hands and turn the other way. Let me hear you sing it!

*second tinme the twirl comes make sure you help people change partner several times so they don’t stay with the same person. Simply yell out ‘find a new partner and twirl’.
