## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches a side dip variation on the other side, focusing on transitioning from a turn into a side lunge and exiting with a rotation.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders should drop and lift the hand to guide the follower's rotation and place the follower's right hand on the leader's right shoulder.
- Followers should keep the leg closest to the leader straight during the side lunge to maintain stability and prevent caving forward.
- During the exit, leaders use their whole body to send the follower sideways, initiating a rotation in the follower's upper body.
- Followers should think about turning down a line away from the leader after the exit to continue the movement smoothly.

##REMEMBER
- Maintain a strong connection between partners throughout the dip and exit to ensure stability and coordinated movement.
- The side dip requires precise weight shifts and body positioning to execute safely and effectively.
- Practice the transition from the turn to the lunge slowly to build confidence and avoid falls.
- The exit involves generating rotation through body movement rather than pushing, emphasizing fluidity and control.
