## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches followers how to choose and vary body shaping in a combination of lunge and side dip moves, focusing on controlling rotation to create different end shapes.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Followers decide at the point of standing with weight on the left foot whether to continue the turn or not.
- Leaders keep the right arm relaxed to allow followers freedom to move and shape creatively.
- Practice stopping rotation early while maintaining technique like sliding the foot and engaging core muscles.
- Play with different amounts of rotation to explore various body shapes at the end of the move.

##REMEMBER
- Followers control their own body shape without forcing leaders to change their position.
- All learned techniques, such as controlling weight and engaging core, still apply when varying rotation.
- The choice of body shaping is up to the follower, allowing for creative expression within the partnership.
