## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches a sequence using opposition with rotation, focusing on creating opposition differently through turning variations and maintaining connection.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders start with slow quick quick rhythm and cross on the slow instead of going right.
- Followers should follow the hand during the turn, dropping it and placing it on the shoulder.
- Keep looking into the direction of the turn and then towards the partner for smooth momentum.
- Followers need to drive through and travel forwards to help initiate rotation.
- Practice with the rhythm slow quick quick slow quick quick for the entire sequence.

##REMEMBER
- Maintain the connection without taking the partner with you to avoid disrupting the move.
- Generate and sustain circular motion and energy throughout the rotation.
- Focus on footwork and hand placement to create smooth opposition and turns.
- Followers have responsibility to keep moving to assist the leader in initiating rotation.
