## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on creatively transitioning between different swing directions in solo dance, with the goal of maintaining flow and fluidity through improvisation.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with a basic move to get into the swing, then experiment with transitions like from a lowdown to a funky butt.
- Use basics in between moves to help change swing direction smoothly, such as adding a backswing before a choo-choo shuffle.
- Try moves in your body while dancing to see how they feel together, without worrying about right or wrong.
- Watch demonstrations if needed, then practice improvising to build confidence and creativity.

##REMEMBER
- There are no right or wrong transitions; focus on what feels good and fluid in your body.
- The swing can go in different directions, so some moves may transition easily while others require adjustment.
- Creativity is key—play with all learned moves to discover seamless connections and enhance flow.
