## FOCUS 
- This lesson concludes the Texas Shuffle course by recapping key techniques and elements of style, culminating in an improvised social dance to demonstrate mastery.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Use body twists, compression, and leverage tension to power movement in passes and turns.
- Encourage level changes by going up and then dropping for a large visual effect.
- Experiment with footwork variations using different parts of your foot.
- In closed position, shift on the left foot and press forward to transition smoothly.
- For a left side pass, ensure the follower passes the leader on their left side.

##REMEMBER
- Texas Shuffle is primarily danced in closed position for 60-70% of the time.
- Leaders should invite followers to join in style elements rather than forcing movement.
- Focus on rotation and level changes to dance artistically while complementing your partner.
- All movements in Texas Shuffle involve moving to or from compression and leverage tension.
- Use music inspiration from artists like Lowell Folsom or T-Bone Walker to enhance the dance.
