## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches how to travel the four corners pattern in side-by-side connection, including transitions from and back to opposition.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- To travel forwards, don't bring the leg back in; instead, take your body over the leg that's in front.
- Leaders step and push to transition from opposition to side by side, while followers continue their four corners weight shift.
- When exiting side by side, leaders turn towards their partner and slide their right hand from the follower's right to left side.
- Followers step under their body, feeling like stepping backwards slightly to maintain balance during the release.

##REMEMBER
- The transition into side by side should feel smooth and magical, with followers not noticing a change in their four corners flow.
- Practice the sequence as a never-ending loop, combining enclosed, opposition, and traveling four corners patterns.
- Maintain the rhythm of a weight shift every two counts throughout the transitions to keep the movement fluid.
