## FOCUS 
- This lesson introduces relaxed stepping, focusing on walking in place with a relaxed foot and ankle to achieve smooth, natural movement.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Raise your foot at an angle with a relaxed muscle and joint.
- Let your foot hang relaxed in the air before stepping.
- Roll smoothly from toe to heel without forcing the motion.
- Keep ankles super relaxed while stepping.
- Practice stepping every beat in a relaxed manner.

##REMEMBER
- Relaxation in the foot and ankle is key for smooth stepping.
- Avoid adding effort or force when placing the foot.
- Focus on natural, slight rolling through the feet.
- Maintain a relaxed posture throughout the movement.
- Use this technique as a foundation for more complex steps.
