Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: External
Purpose: To explore the meditative feeling of exploring dance walking for a whole song

A great dynamic walking track that simply switches between slow and tempo walking for the whole song.

First move: Slow walk. Start to walk to the slow beat – it’s confident and sexy.
Can you add your arms to your dance?
Can you explore different directions as you walk? Sideways, backwards and turning?
Can your shoulders move as well?
What about your head? You can make your head move naturally by looking over your shoulder once in a while or by looking at your arms and hands as they dance.
How can you move your hips with your slow walk? You can play with really sticking your hips out every time you step.
Let your whole body dance the walk with confidence, attitude, and personality.
Whatever sexy is to you – put that in your dance – I promise you, you can’t get it wrong! Express it your way!

Second move: Tempo walk. Now pick up the pace and walk to the beat – 1-2,1-2. Keep exploring different directions and move in to the open spaces as you dance walk.
Have you tried turning it yet? Both ways?
Put lots of funk and personality in your dance, and explore how you can get your whole body in it. Have you tried pushing off a wall once in a while?
How can your head move? Make your hair dance!
Explore confidence and sexiness in your dance. Strut your walk!
Listen to the music and let it inspire your dance – your way is the right way!

*For a delicious Groove, make sure you hit the break at 3:15 in the song. The beat completely dies out and you have them freeze for two seconds before returning to the dance walk.
