Put a Little Love in Your Heart by Dolly Parton

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No Focus: External
Purpose: To create interaction and connection

First move: Walk 8, OTS dance “Put a Little Love in Your Heart”. Put the beat in your feet. Travel 12345678. Now stay OTS and do a litte “Put a little love in your heart” dance. Express it from your heart. Do it again, walk 8, but dance your walk, add your style and personality. Be friendly and lovely. Then stay OTS and show off your “Put a little Love in your heart” dance. Show how you dance your arms from your heart. Can you walk somewhere new each time, maybe add a turn or go a different direction? Show off your smile with everyone. Dance it. Show me your own style. Your way is the best way.

Second move: Walk, Circle Arms (world). Now just walk but when you hear “world” show me a big open arm movement, anyway you want to do it. Let it be big and wonderful. Can you do it a little different each time? Keep that smile on your face. Maybe open (world) with someone. But dance it! Get creative with it. Do it your way.

Third move: You and Me Combo. Now Stay OTS and point to someone “You”. Now point to yourself “Me”, now open your arms and make a turn. *The second time you do this combo Its a little longer and you will also turn the other way”. Nice easy and slow. Put some passion and love in it. Do it your way.

Fourth move: Clap. Now just clap, and as you clap come together in the center. Dance your clap, put a smile on your face and let’s do this together. Clap it out. Come in together. At the very ask them to all shake there hands (like church style) Lets shake and lift together… “Put a little love in your heart” big finish!
