## FOCUS 
- This lesson builds on previous compression triplets by adding a lunge at the end, focusing on the connection and positioning during the turn and lunge sequence.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Adjust the step into the triplets by going back slightly to keep the partner in front for the lunge.
- Maintain right-hand connection during the turn to control distance and positioning.
- Use the reconnection as a cue to prepare the left arm for the lunge.
- Practice the lunge separately before adding it to the sequence for smooth execution.

##REMEMBER
- The lunge should be performed on the line for proper alignment.
- Connection during the turn helps maintain closeness and awareness of the partner's location.
- The reconnection point acts as a 'magic button' to signal readiness for the lunge.
- Avoid rushing; ensure the lunge is mastered before integrating it into the full movement.
