## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on modifying a lift by adding a lunge ending, suitable for concluding a song or hitting a break in music.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start side by side and perform the lift on counts one, two, three.
- Instead of moving forward, leaders go back into a lunge after the lift.
- Control the movement during the lift and the final step.
- Practice with music that has breaks to time the move effectively.

##REMEMBER
- The key difference is the backward lunge instead of a forward motion.
- This move is ideal for ending a song or accentuating musical breaks.
- Maintain control throughout to execute the lunge smoothly.
- Use the move to enhance musicality by aligning with song structures.
