Ouverture by Radiounderholdningsorkesteret (Christmas on the Castle OST) (KIDS)

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: Yes Focus: External Purpose: To create connections and interactions on the dance floor

Pre-teach: Since the song is so short you want to explain to them what’s going to happen before it starts. Tell them to greet people with either bow or curtsy. Simply turn to the person next to you and greet them with bowing or doing curtsy. Elegantly move to a new person and do it again, but this time different – find new ways every time.

First move: As you have just explained the activity, just tell them to begin. Invite them to be very present with the person they bow to. Observe the room and help them be creative – ask if they can do it in a new way? Playing with levels, turning as they transition to a new place, dance their bow or curtsy and maybe they smile as they do it? Help them by giving suggestions – only if they need it of course. Great in the beginning of class to have people interact in a sweet and gentle way.

Transition: Same move throughout the whole song.
