## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches the 'send out' move in Texas Shuffle, focusing on maintaining arm leverage and connection while sending the partner out on a line.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Switch to lead's left arm and follow's right arm for the send out.
- Keep the arm connection protected to avoid it getting too high or out of socket.
- Reestablish leverage at the end of the move after it may drop during the transition.
- As a lead, shuffle back to let your partner through or break the line to send them down.
- Loosen the leverage momentarily to allow your partner to pass, then bring the arm back.
- Open the body on the left or right side to send the partner out on a line.

##REMEMBER
- Maintain the hand connection even as leverage switches during the move.
- Use the same protections from the leverage exercise to keep the arm safe.
- The send out is similar to past moves but involves being further apart.
- Follow your steps and avoid lifting unnecessarily during the move.
- Practice with music to enhance the feel and timing of the send out.
- It's okay if leverage drops temporarily as long as the arm connection is not lost.
