## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on teaching the low down move in the Blues Shuffle, specifically the solo version with shuffle rhythm, including proper technique and transitions from the basic step.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with weight on the right leg and do four basics before dropping onto the left to enter the low down.
- Ensure the hip joint, knee, and foot are aligned in the same line to avoid pain.
- Move your upper body towards the bent leg instead of just dancing from the lower body.
- Transition by dropping under your body and then stepping out with the other leg.
- Practice without jumping; keep at least one foot on the floor at all times.

##REMEMBER
- Maintain good alignment with weight on the leg under your body during the low down.
- Avoid jumping; the movement should involve stepping and replacing without both feet leaving the floor.
- Focus on smooth transitions by bringing the leg under your body first before stepping to the side.
- Coordinate upper body movement with the bent leg to enhance the dance form.
