## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches a sequence involving a spin, pivot, and dip, focusing on reconnecting at the shoulder blades and using rotational energy for a smooth transition into a dip.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Reconnect with the right hand on the follower's shoulder blades instead of the lower back for this move.
- Followers should keep arms up and weight on the right leg during the pivot and spin.
- Leaders use small steps around the follower to maintain rotation and balance.
- For the spin, leaders let go with the right hand and use the left to boost the follower's rotation on the spot.
- In the dip, reconnect under the follower's right armpit for a secure and controlled descent.

##REMEMBER
- Practice pivoting skills with the right leg staying in place to maintain a straight line and distance.
- Use the follower's existing rotational momentum to enhance spins and transitions smoothly.
- Followers should focus on a strong center and weight in the leg for stability during spins and dips.
- It's acceptable to adjust foot placement or hold on for stability when learning, aiming for independence over time.
