## FOCUS 
- This lesson introduces a dips and tricks course, focusing on cool moves to use during breaks in music or at appropriate moments in a song, with an emphasis on safety and partner communication.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Only dance dips or lifts with a partner who is comfortable and consents to the moves.
- Choose moves that feel good for your body and match your skill level.
- Communicate continuously with your partner about comfort during practice.
- Avoid forcing moves that do not feel comfortable.
- Use these moves at the end of a song or when there is a break in the music.

##REMEMBER
- Safety and consent are paramount when performing dips and tricks with a partner.
- Tailor your practice to your own comfort and physical capabilities.
- Treat instructor guidance as suggestions, not mandatory instructions.
- Prioritize care for both yourself and your partner during training.
- Build moves into social dancing only with familiar and consenting partners.
