## FOCUS 
- This final lesson focuses on applying the concept of swing to various dance moves, encouraging dancers to integrate swing from their center into their favorite moves for smoother transitions.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start the James Brown move from your center, specifically the hips or glutes, to ensure a good twist.
- Add a forward and back swing to the James Brown to enhance movement and transition.
- Incorporate a swing in your center to initiate the camel walk, involving the whole body rather than just legs.
- Add swing at the end of a move, like a turn, to naturally transition into the next step.
- Use swing when changing direction, such as adding a forward swing to transition smoothly back.

##REMEMBER
- Swing should originate from the center of the body, not from the knees or feet.
- Analyze your favorite moves to find opportunities to add swing for better flow.
- Swing can help transition moves seamlessly, making improvisation more fluid.
- Even moves that seem to lack swing can be adapted by adding swing at the end.
