Love Will Keep Us Together by Captain & Tennille

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: Yes Focus: External Purpose: Interact and sing along

*This song does require knowing the song pretty well, so take much time to listen to it and dance it yourself before bringing it to class. Many of your students will know it!

First move side step 2 walk 4 – this is a combo and it is the same travel pattern the whole song. If they miss a couple, it is fine, they will start to do it without thinking with some practice. Be sure to relax on the side step with arms dancing! Then fun travel dancing for 4 beats. Have them weave in and out of each other.

Second move OTS acting out the lyrics – this can be done anyway they want. Listen to the words and dramatically act them out with their expressions and body language. They can interact with each other as well! Remind them to do this with their WHOLE bodies!!

Third move poses – hold the last pose dramatically!! “I WILL, I WILL” etc at the lyrics of these poses. Basically it is saying who will turn me on? and confidently you strike poses stating with your whole being that YOU WILL!!! On the fourth one, simply extend it longer and more dramatically until you hear the side step for 2 come in.

If you like counts, you will hold this last one for about 8 cts!
