Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: Yes – Create circle – walk forward, walk back, turn, point. *If you have never done a circle in your class, you will need to pre-teach getting into a circle.
Focus: External
Purpose: To create group connection and interaction

First move: Slow Poses. Start by making these long opening poses. Keep changing them. You can change direction. Change levels. Take your time. Keep them moving. This optimistic opening up. Keep changing and make each one different. In our circle. Show off your poses. Explore your levels as you pose with the accent in the music. Let your poses move slowly and expressively. Can you pose differently each time, but let it be an expressive dance? You can even travel on your poses. Put your style and personality into your poses.

Second move: Dance Walk. Put the rhythm in your feet. Start to travel when you’re ready. While you’re traveling, it’s upbeat. Get your arms up and opening. Can you walk around each other? Explore all your directions, even backwards. Have you explored turning? Get the arms dancing and moving. Even your head is dancing. Put some pep in your step. Show me your style, Open up those arms and express as you walk. Do it your way!

Third move: Circle, walk forward, walk back, turn and point at each other. Now walk into a circle, get ready lets all walk in together, arms up, walk back lower the arms, now turn in a circle, any direction you want. Now point at each other. Let’s do it again, but dance it your way. Put some style into it. Let’s feel the connection of all of us as a group.
