## FOCUS 
- This lesson recaps the entire 'Exploring Axes' course, focusing on weight and axis shifts in dance movements to build foundational skills.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Shift your axis and choose how many steps before changing directions.
- Use sways to get rhythmical and creative based on the music.
- For hesitation, do a 100% weight shift for a short time without a full axis shift.
- Exit a sway by clearly bringing weight and axis over one leg before moving on.
- Practice step patterns like step, step, sway, sway or variations.

##REMEMBER
- Always involve axis and weight shifts in movements for control.
- Sways keep weight in both feet without a full axis shift, unlike hesitations.
- Hesitations differ from sways by having a full weight shift but not a full axis shift.
- Movements can be subtle or dramatic based on personal preference.
- All techniques can be adapted with a partner for practice.
