Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: External
Purpose: To warm up or cool down the body

First move: Slow sexy walk. Start to walk slowly to the beat: walk, walk. Allow yourself to dance your walk with confidence, attitude and a little drama.
Can you walk sideways? Or turn? Add your arms to your walk. Can you add your shoulders too?
Give yourself permission to be a little seductive in your movement, whatever that looks and feels like to you – dance it in your own unique way.

Second move: Poses. Every time she sings ‘perhaps’ you strike a pose. Stick out body parts. Explore new ways of posing every time. Can you use your levels? Give yourself permission to add some drama to your poses.
You can use the walls if you like. Show me how you dance your poses!

Third move: 1-2-cha-cha-cha. Now put this beat in your feet: 12-cha-cha-cha or 12-123. Soften your knees so your hips can move. Start to explore the room as you dance it: you can move sideways, backwards and turn as you dance it.
Soften your shoulders and let them dance as well. How can your shoulders move?
Can your hips move as you cha-cha-cha?
Can you get your whole body involved?
Don’t copy anyone, dance it YOUR way! You can’t get it wrong.
Show me lots of turns and use your directions as you dance.
Can you dance it with confidence? Just play with it – shoulders back, chest up and own it.
