Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: Internal and External
Purpose: To feel good in their bodies

First Move: Slide-Together. Start with a slide-together. You hear the little tick in the music. That’s the together. Now move it through the space.
Bend your knees. Add some arms. Relaxed. Chilled out. Really slide it. Add a turn now and then.
Take it to a place in the room where you haven’t been. You might even dance around someone else. Slide toward each other. Dance with each other. Around each other.

Second Move: Walk. Just a gentle, easy walk. Hands in the air. Lots of breath. Let yourself express it. All directions.

Third Move: 4 slides. 8 walks. Travel. Sing it if you want. Put a little smile on your face. How does that feel?
Keep dancing it. Relaxed and easy. Let it feel so good.
