## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on using contra body movement to create rotation in a box step pattern for followers, with the goal of practicing exaggerated body twists and smooth transitions.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Exaggerate the rotation on the third step to turn towards the right.
- Release the left leg under the body on the fourth step without stopping the body movement.
- Start the contra body twist before the step, not at the same time, to fill the space between steps.
- Take bigger steps if you have more space to drive the movement out more effectively.

##REMEMBER
- Keep the body moving continuously to avoid stopping and make transitions feel natural.
- Use the body to initiate movement rather than relying on the brain to decide directions.
- Practice the timing so that the body swings before each step for a fluid contra body effect.
