Salute by Little Mix

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: Salute & quarter turn X 3.
Focus: External
Purpose: To create strong unity and fierce confident power

Pre-teach: Try this move with me: double down. It’s a step and bounce. Lots of attitude. Three times in the song I’m gonna call you to
the front of the room as we do the double down. And we are gonna form one straight line here, facing front.

As we stand here, we are gonna Salute with our right hand and then quarter turn as we take the hand down by our side again, then
we do that twice more: salute-quarter-turn.

*** Do it a couple of times until everyone gets it – it’s so powerful when everyone moves in unison, so it’s worth spending some time
until everyone gets it.
As the song starts you have everyone stand in salute.

First Move: double-down. Connect to the double-down-double-down. Simply take a step and then bounce in it. Now start to travel.
Can you move backwards? What about sideways?
This song is confident and fierce so put that in your dance. Show me attitude too!
Figure out how to tell a story with your hands. Strong, powerful and confident. Don’t hold back – dance it your way. Full expression!
Can you add your head too?
How can you add your upperbody even more?
Could you add your shoulders?
You got this! Dance like someone IS watching and you don’t give a s**t!
Show me how you dance the double down with your whole body!

Second Move: high knees. Now high knees with the music – 1,2-1,2! Lots of power and energy!
Give yourself permission to take up the space – big movements if you feel like it! Add your hands and arms with attitude! You can
even dance it a bit aggressively or yell as you do the high knees. Do it YOUR way!

Third move: Salute & quarter turn X 3. Get ready for the salute! Show me fierceness, focus and power!
Hand up! Hand down and quarter turn. Again! Again – salute and quarter turn.

*** You can stand a little in front of them so they can see you.


Fourth move: slow confident walk. Now slow walk with the music. Can you add your arms? Express your walk with confidence, power
and determination. Focused.

*** Super important to NOT use the words sexy here.
