Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: Internal
Purpose: To warm up the body through slow lubricating movements of the joints.

Before you put the music on, get them on the spot, feet planted and taking a few breaths shifting the focus inward. They can close their eyes or gently bring a soft gaze to the ground.

Key facilitation points:

We’re going to stay on the spot warming up nice and slow drawing circles with different body parts to lubricate the joints, preparing for bigger movement.
Begin to draw a circle with a body part, such as your head.
Start to add your shoulders, maybe your wrists and fingers.
You can even draw wider circles allowing the arms to reach for the sky.
Change the direction of your movement.
Continue adding more body parts such as hips, knees and ankles.
Try exploring different levels (high, middle and low).
Add lots of breath and relax your movement.
Make it feel good in your body and let yourself dance it.
Let the music inspire how you move, remember you can’t get it wrong!
Your way of moving is the right way.
