You can use fingerlights with this song. It’s also a great song for bringing in interaction. If you choose to create interaction, encourage them to look at hands.

There’s one pattern through the whole song. Lift-lower-lift-walk-4. When the music starts, connect them to the song with Lift-lower-lift-walk, 1-2-3-4.
Stay on the spot and lift your arms. Softly lower. And lift again. Walk.
See if you can lift and lower a different way every time. One arm or both. You can spin while you walk. Start to really dance it and express it in your own way.
Add more breath. Allow your whole body to move with it. What does it feel like if you allow your spine and rib cage to follow?
If you’d like, find someone next to you and lift and lower together. Just look at your hands as you do so, but see if you can mirror each other. More breath.
So soft. Even your face softens. Even your fingertips are soft.
End with the lift and let them stay there.
