## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on using contra-body movement to generate a larger rotation while traveling on a line, specifically for leaders in a half turn.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Rotate more between counts three and four.
- Step under your body during the movement.
- Release on the same line as you travel.
- Take about two counts for the reset.

##REMEMBER
- Timing is extremely important for this technique.
- Maintain weight on the right foot as a starting point.
- The technique is similar to the previous lesson but with increased rotation.
