Checklist

• Speed, slow, pause
• Rock
• “Almond” embrace

More Detail

Synchronized walking side-by-side.

Variations

• Play with a few really long pauses
• Tell them about the line of dance

Steps

1. Walk side by side, arms around backs
2. Play with double time, half time and pauses
3. Switch the lead

Builds on natural instinctual ability to walk through a space, lead and follow, which people usually lose when they are put into a formal dance situation.

Tips

• You don’t need to start on the same leg
• The idea is to take the same size steps at the same time
• Pausing (staying on one foot) vs weight shifts (marching in place)
