This dance was choreographed with easy foot steps so that it is possible to incorporate sign language that matches some key words in the lyrics.
Key words emphasized with matching hand gestures: “heart beating,” “you are the reason,” “climb every mountain,” “swim every ocean,” “fix what I’ve broken,” “need you to see.”
Additional key words in lyrics that may be considered for hand gesture matching: “heart keeps bleeding,” “hands shaking,” “turn back the clock,” etc.
