## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on adding a hip rotation wiggle move as an independent variation in swing dance, emphasizing its use during stationary moments rather than while traveling.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Add the wiggle during stops, such as after a turn, to respond to music cues.
- Use a slow weight shift to facilitate a clear exit from the move.
- Ensure awareness of your partner's position and your own weight placement for smooth transitions.
- Practice the variation in both open and closed positions without requiring synchronization with your partner.

##REMEMBER
- The wiggle is easier to perform in open positions with less physical connection.
- It does not need to be integrated with complex movements to be effective.
- Clarity in weight shifts and partner awareness is crucial for maintaining dance flow.
- This variation should enhance rather than disrupt the connection with your partner.
