(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman (with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra) by Aretha Franklin

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: Yes, the combo
Focus: Internal
Purpose: Celebrating our womanhood

Pre-teach: the combo of 1-2-3-throw x3 and OTS yummy dance. Invite them to try it with you. “You make me feel” Is the 1-2-3-throw!
It is not an energetically charged throw, but rather a soulful soft throw!
Let them know that the combo is happening only 1 time for the first two choruses, then in the end the combo repeats over and over.

First move: Waltz 123-123. Side to side. Take this rhythm around the space. Allow your arms to accent it in a soulful way. What if you allow your head to be soft and dance with it as well? Make it feel good!

Second move: 1-2-3-throw x3 and OTS yummy dance.
You don’t have time to say much for this part except for counting it out loud for them.
