## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on practicing the hip push move in side-by-side position, with the goal of mastering diagonal pushes and smooth transitions between basics and hip pushes.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Maintain a slight V-shape with your partner and push diagonally towards the corner of the room.
- Pivot on one leg with 100% weight on that leg, keeping the free leg close under your hip.
- Adjust arm connections for comfort to keep shoulders relaxed, especially if height differences exist.
- Incorporate a level change by going low on the hip push and rising back up to aid communication.

##REMEMBER
- The hip push is diagonal, not directly sideways or forwards, due to the angled stance.
- Transitions in and out of hip pushes should be smooth, with steps back to neutral before continuing.
- Body openness should be comfortable and not forced to avoid strain on joints.
- Practice both pushing on count two and pushing on count one for variation and ease of entry.
