## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches grounding in dance, focusing on shifting body weight and energy downward to improve balance, control, and movement timing.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Relax the shoulders, chest, legs, and feet to let body weight sink into the ground.
- Breathe into the belly to help relax the upper body and connect to the ground.
- Practice ungrounding by lifting energy to the chest and grounding by sending it down to the belly.
- Partner exercises can help feel the tactile difference between grounded and ungrounded states.
- Avoid bending knees to ground; instead, focus on where energy and weight are held in the body.

##REMEMBER
- Grounding is about energy and weight distribution, not just physical posture or knee bending.
- Being grounded enhances balance, control, and ease in dancing, especially to slow music.
- It may take time to incorporate grounding, but practice leads to noticeable improvements.
- Grounding can make technical dance moves easier by increasing body control.
