## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches a promenade into an outside turn variation in Ballroom Blues, focusing on leading and following the rotational movement with proper technique.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start lifting the left hand on count 4 to initiate the turn without pushing.
- Leaders should relax the right hand when separating from the partner during the turn.
- Followers should maintain momentum by feeling the rotational energy from the leader's movement.
- Keep the shoulder connected and the arm within peripheral vision to avoid injury and follow the lead.
- Maintain a slightly forwards posture and pulse in the body to stay balanced during turns.

##REMEMBER
- The rotation happens from body movement, not from pushing with the left hand.
- Followers should continue turning naturally, using the connection to follow the leader's speed.
- Proper frame and shoulder connection are crucial for safety and effective following in outside turns.
- Avoid leaning back in turns to prevent loss of balance and maintain upright posture.
