## FOCUS 
- This lesson provides top tips for effectively using hands and arms during dance turns, focusing on maintaining connection and preventing injury.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Let hands move naturally to a comfortable position while maintaining connection during turns.
- Leaders should ensure the follower's hand is always in front of their forehead during turns.
- Relax arms after initiating a turn to avoid over-leading.
- Followers should always see the inside of their elbow to keep arms in the right place.
- Imagine the shoulder blade going down as the arm goes up to avoid lifting the shoulder.
- Look into the direction of the turn to maintain balance and awareness.

##REMEMBER
- Keep arms totally relaxed to prevent injury and ensure smooth movement.
- Maintain visual connection with the inside of your elbow to avoid arm misplacement.
- Think of the shoulder joint as a wheel to promote proper arm mechanics.
- Avoid looking at the floor or in the wrong direction to prevent imbalance.
- Let hands dance naturally to enhance connection and flow during turns.
