## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on partnered low downs in blues shuffle, teaching transitions from basic steps and exploring different positions like closed and shake hands.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders should be clear with transitions so followers can feel and follow them.
- Followers should listen actively to weight shifts rather than anticipating steps.
- Both partners should move their entire body, avoiding jumping.
- Experiment with tapping feet in different places around the body for creativity.
- Use shake hands position to create distance and vary body shapes.

##REMEMBER
- Leaders initiate transitions from the basic step into low downs on specific counts.
- Followers mirror leaders but on opposite legs for smooth coordination.
- Maintain active listening to adapt to varying numbers of low down steps.
- Closed and shake hands positions offer options for styling and connection.
