Somewhere In My Memory (Home Alone Theme) by Ummet Ozcan, Jazz & Vega

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: External
Purpose: To increase heart rate and explore balance and core stability

First move: Tiptoe. Start to tiptoe – listen to the melody and step on every note. Light and soft steps on your tiptoes. Explore your directions and show me how you can add your arms as you tiptoe. Light and curious – like you are tiptoeing on ice you don’t want to break! Allow yourself to be playful and have fun with it. But DANCE it with your whole body! Figure out how to creatively tiptoe around your fellow groovers. When the music builds: keep it light on your tiptoes but see if you can leap or jump with it. Springy and energetic. Keep hitting every note if you can! How far can you leap? Have fun and explore your balance and stability – if you lose your balance just make it part if the dance. No one cares what you look like – allow yourself to play like a kid on the playground. You are allowed to have fun – do what you need to do to make it feel good!

Second move: Punching. Stay where you are and start punching. No dancing! Just punching – straight ahead – serious, focused face. Show me power and strength and full commitment. Yeah you got this! Now faster! Even faster!!

Third Move: NOW DANCE YOUR PUNCHES! Show me club-arms all over the place. Punch in new places every single time. You can travel or stay on the spot. But whatever you do – dance it! Your way is the right way, dance this YOUR way. Give yourself permission to be wild and a bit crazy! Let your hair dance! Have a party in your body – no one can do it for you but you. Let’s go Christmas-Clubbing! Can you get your head involved? Or your face? Don’t make it pretty – make it feel good! Is there somewhere you haven’t punched yet? Have you tried above you? Or below you? Use your levels. Listen to the song and let it inspire how you dance. Add your own style and personality – your way is the right way!

*Great song for fingerlights.
