Style Option: the lyrics include the word “kindness”. Each time it is sung we are performing the V-Step. We turned this into an embrace. As you step forward into the V-Step, reach your arms out wide. As you step back on the V-Step, pull your arms across your chest (as if you are pulling someone into an embrace).
On the last 4 counts, rock back and forth in that embrace.
Style Option: Harry sings the lyrics “keep on dancing”, use this opportunity to add your own styling.

INSPIRATION
The song and lyrics influenced the creation of this dance, as we ourselves strive to treat everyone we meet with pure kindness. Our hope is that this dance inspires others to do the same. We first heard this song while traveling to embark on the Disney Dream and thus the title was born.
Special Thanks to Cole and Emily who shared this song with us.
