## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on two body shape options for the slow drag in blues dancing, emphasizing relaxed movement and delayed body rippling.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start the movement by leaning from your upper body first, with the rest following in a soft, delayed ripple.
- Practice with more or less space between your hips to see how it affects the upper body shaping.
- Move your head to a comfortable position as you change body shapes to avoid feeling stuck.
- Ensure you drag the foot during the movement to maintain the slow drag technique.

##REMEMBER
- Avoid adding extra tension or stretch into the body; keep movements super relaxed.
- Feel different body parts moving at different times to create a delay of movement through the body.
- Maintain a comfortable close embrace and arm position with your partner while practicing.
