## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches a side-by-side free turn variation where both partners turn in opposite directions, building on a previous version with a longer sequence and different timing.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Drop the hand low when facing your partner to maintain connection.
- Step forward on count six to redirect the movement before turning.
- Communicate the turn direction clearly between counts six and seven for your partner.
- Let go of the hand on count seven to initiate the turn away from each other.
- Keep the hand low throughout the move to ensure smooth execution.

##REMEMBER
- The key difference from the previous free turn is turning in the opposite direction with a delayed release.
- Maintain low hand positioning to guide your partner effectively during the turn.
- Focus on count six as the critical moment for redirecting the movement.
- Ensure clear communication with your partner to coordinate the turn away from each other.
