## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on creating asymmetrical shapes in blues dance by having one arm placed on the body while the other arm follows the movement's flow, enhancing the aesthetic with broken lines and dynamic styling.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Place left hand in pocket and let right hand follow the basic step's flow.
- Keep a slight air bubble in the armpit for a natural swing in the arm.
- Maintain a lifted arm with energy running through to the fingers.
- Use hand on hip with the opposite arm following movement momentum, especially for fishtails.
- Explore hand placements like thigh, back, or butt while the other arm moves freely.

##REMEMBER
- Blues dance emphasizes asymmetrical shapes over symmetrical ones for its aesthetic.
- Having different actions on each side of the body creates dynamic and broken lines.
- Asymmetrical styling can highlight movements like fishtails and turns effectively.
- Experiment with various arm placements to enhance shape and movement in improvisation.
