This whole song is a 1-2-3-accent. It’s soulful, meditative, expressive.

Take a moment to listen to the music. You hear a 1-2-3 hit. 1-2-3 hit. Walk-2-3 accent. Now when you hear that accent, make some kind of accent in your body.
Travel through that space or do that 1-2-3 on the spot. But start to really dance it. Use levels. Directions. Become really expressive.
There’s a little intensity in this song. You might let yourself get lost in it.
You’ll hear the song wind down (2:50) and at that point just hold and let your arms move, ending with fingers coming to your side.
