Por Una Cosa by La Sonora Santanera

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: External
Purpose: To lubricate hip joints and lower back. Challenge your participants to listen and nail the breaks/poses.

First Move: 123-123. Put this beat in your feet: 123-123. The rhythm is quite fast so keep your steps small. Bend your knees slightly so you allow for more movement in your hips.
This song is Latin style so give yourself permission to be sassy, spicy and add lots of personality to your movements. Explore turning and directional changes as you dance it through the space. Give yourself permission to use the whole room!
How can you add confidence to your dance?
How can you add playfulness?
You can’t get it wrong – when you get your groove on, you get it right!
Let your shoulders, arms and hands move too – how can you dance it with your entire upper body?
Have you turned it yet? Both ways?
Have you smiled or winked at someone yet? If not, figure out how to say hi to someone using your body language as you dance by them.
Does your head move? You can try to look over your shoulder once in a while to get your head dancing naturally. Listen to the music and let it inspire how you dance it – Latin, spicy, sassy, confidence, playfulness – express it your way!
Are your hips dancing?
Can your chest and spine move with it?
And make it feel good!
Show me what Latin style 123-123 looks like when YOU dance it!

Second Move: Poses. Listen for the breaks, and when you hear them, strike a confident pose with style!
Can you strike a different pose every time?
Have you tried using your levels?
Can you pose Latin style? Just try!
Can you pose with your hands? Shoulders?
Show me how you pose it with playfulness.
