Woman by Andreya Triana

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: External
Purpose: To feel empowered and celebrate being a woman.

First move: Confident walk. This song is about celebrating being a woman. Lift your chest, shoulders back, now put the beat in your feet, and start to walk around the room. Can you show your confidence? Shoulders back. Chest high. Explore all your directions. Can you put your unique style and personality to your walk? Lift your arms into your walk with purpose and confident expression. No on can be confident for you. Have you gone backwards yet? Your way is the right way.

Second move: Clap. Keep walking, when you hear the clap, you can clap or tap your body, but keep that dance walk going. Explore clapping or tapping creatively. Use your whole body. Have you tried a turn? Give yourself permission to let your body dance as you connect to that clap in the music. Confident. Empowered. Even your head moves with your body. Show me your style. Keep your feet moving. Let’s see you dance that walk. Moving through the space creatively. Strong empowered woman. (On the second time through the clap isn’t as strong, so they can do more celebratory arms but totally ok if they continue to connect to the clap. As long as they are traveling). Let your arms dance with your body. Bring the feeling of celebration into your dance walk.

Third move: Arms up “Ya, Ya, Ya, Ya, I’m a Woman”. Celebrate it! Big! Change direction, do it again! Arms up. Do it again! Let your body dance it! Here we go, arms up! Change direction, do it again! “I’m a woman!”
