## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on follower variations in single-axis turns, specifically exploring creative body shapes and grounding techniques to enhance balance and styling.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Ground yourself by thinking of your energy going down into the ground like a corkscrew.
- Keep your weight on your left leg and let the right leg relax and go out to the side.
- Use your left arm for solid connection and support if needed during the turn.
- Add leg circles with the right leg like a paintbrush on the floor for extra styling.
- Sink down into the floor to maintain balance while turning.

##REMEMBER
- Maintain a grounded and balanced posture to reduce pressure on your partner.
- Focus on body shape and creativity to add personal styling to the turn.
- Ensure a solid arm connection for support without leaning heavily on your partner.
- Exit the turn smoothly by bringing yourself back up and shifting axis when ready.
