## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches the Dizzy Move, a turning technique in dance that involves spinning with a partner, focusing on connection and dynamic speed control.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start from an inside turn with a step forward to position side-by-side before rotating.
- Use a slight lean or counterbalance to create connection and allow for faster, more dynamic turns.
- Pivot around a central axis with steps like 'step, turn' to maintain balance and avoid falling.
- Exit the move by ensuring the follower is on their right leg to lead a big step to the left side.
- Practice slowly and add counterbalance as speed increases to build control and prevent dizziness.

##REMEMBER
- The rhythm and amount of spin depend on the music, so adapt the move to fit the song's dynamics.
- Maintain a strong connection with your partner through counterbalance to stay together during turns.
- Footwork varies based on factors like speed and leader's steps, so focus on staying balanced rather than a fixed pattern.
- To reduce dizziness, focus on a stationary object like your hands after spinning.
- Practice in short bursts to build skill without overexertion, and adjust the move to match musical explosions or slowdowns.
