## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches the 'Soft Tail' move, focusing on stepping and pivoting with weight shifts and adding styling from the center of the body.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with weight on the left and step to the right, then pivot by turning with all weight on one leg.
- Think of the step being led from the belly button, as if pulled by the belt, to create forward movement.
- Add a delay in the body by leaving shoulders and head back for styling, creating a twist effect.
- Optionally collect the leg in under the hip before turning, or keep feet wide for a twist like a figure of eight.

##REMEMBER
- Pivot means turning with all weight on one leg, alternating between diagonal corners.
- Styling can involve pulling from the center to lead steps and delaying upper body movements.
- Both leg collection and wide foot placements are acceptable styling options for this move.
