## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches leaders how to turn using the four-corners technique, focusing on hand connection, rotation, and maintaining rhythm during the turn.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Connect the left hand towards your body and go under it like shuffling through an arch.
- Rotate more on the second and fourth steps of the four corners to create a nice flow.
- Drop your elbow during the rotation to avoid discomfort when handling the hand.
- If uncomfortable, place the hand on your side, waist, or under your arm instead of overhead.
- Leaders push with the left foot to rotate more, while keeping the first and third steps on the spot.
- Maintain the rhythm of the hips consistently during the four corners without rushing.

##REMEMBER
- Followers continue their momentum and hip swing unless the leader stops them.
- Adjust hand placement based on body size or comfort to ensure a smooth turn.
- The turn involves three or four basic steps before returning to opposition.
- Leaders should focus on rotating towards the left side during the turn.
- Practice the move with basics first to establish foot rhythm before adding rotation.
- Ensure a comfortable connection by adapting hand positions as needed during the rotation.
