## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on a new ending for the inside turn variation in Ballroom Blues, specifically teaching a promenade step where partners separate and reconnect smoothly.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders drop the hand and step forward on count eight to initiate the separation.
- Leaders maintain hands low and rotate their body towards the partner to lead the reconnection without using arm force.
- Followers should be sensitive to the leader's body rotation and match it for a smooth turn.
- Allow the hands to move naturally during the turn, keeping them relaxed and in palm-to-palm contact.
- Add extra steps during the promenade for a 'walk in the park' feel, turning whenever ready.

##REMEMBER
- The reconnection is led by body rotation, not arm movement, to avoid forcing the partner.
- Keep momentum and pathway consistent during the turn without reconnecting hands immediately.
- Practice the sequence from counts five to eight to master the timing of the separation and step.
- The promenade allows for flexibility, such as adding extra steps for a relaxed, flowing dance.
