## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on maintaining individual freedom and flow while dancing with a partner, using a game where both dancers improvise solo and reconnect spontaneously.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Dance solo with visible body flow so your partner can react to it.
- When reconnecting, consider multiple options like staying in place or leading a turn based on the partner's energy.
- Respond to your partner's suggestions in your own way without stopping your dance.
- Let the flow of energy guide your choices spontaneously in the moment.
- During reconnection, step toward your partner if they perform a turn to maintain engagement.

##REMEMBER
- Don't stop dancing just because your partner makes a connection; maintain your individuality.
- The flow of energy leads both partners, with options arising naturally from the movement.
- Listen to your partner's flow and respond appropriately while dancing in your own style.
- Reconnection in partnered dance should happen spontaneously, guided by the moment's energy.
- Both dancers have a responsibility to move themselves and dance freely while being attentive to each other.
