## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches the reverse James Brown, a twist move that involves travelling towards the free leg, building on the James Brown from a previous class.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with weight on the left, lift the right leg, and travel to the right using toe heel movements.
- Circle one leg around as if polishing the floorboards with the sole of your shoe.
- Combine brushing one leg with toe healing the other leg to perform the full move.
- Keep shoulders forward to maintain balance and a low center of gravity.
- Twist the leg from the hip, similar to the James Brown technique.

##REMEMBER
- Maintain a low center of gravity to avoid being unbalanced.
- Keep energy low in the body, not high up in the chest.
- Focus on posture with shoulders forward for stability.
- Practice combining leg brushing and toe healing movements smoothly.
- Travel towards the free leg as you perform the twist.
