## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on transitioning smoothly between close embrace and side-by-side positions in ballroom blues, with the goal of mastering seamless movement and connection.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders shuffle slightly to the left to initiate the transition.
- Followers match the leader's body movement without stopping rigidly.
- Use body rotation, not arms, to open into side-by-side position.
- Keep walking forward to maintain momentum during transitions.
- Open into a V shape, avoiding being too wide or flat.

##REMEMBER
- Transitions should be smooth and seamless, not abrupt.
- Connection is maintained through body movement, not arm manipulation.
- Relax into the movement to allow natural flow and connection.
- Practice looping the transition to build fluidity and confidence.
