## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on adding clockwise rotation in closed position to the Chicago triple basic, aiming to enhance dynamics and interest while maintaining the dance's characteristic shape and rhythm.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders step around into the follower's space to initiate rotation.
- Followers step across with their legs while keeping their body facing the leader.
- Maintain a consistent speed of rotation throughout the movement.
- Use the left arm connection in closed position, especially when leaning away on the left step.
- Add more dynamic energy to smooth out the triple rhythm and increase rotation speed.
- Exit the rotation by stopping and returning to the stationary basic anytime.

##REMEMBER
- Keep the body tracking towards your partner to create a cross shape during rotation.
- Maintain the Chicago triple shape with a lean towards your step for added dynamics.
- The connection in closed position is crucial for leading and following the rotation effectively.
- Rotation can be adjusted for speed and smoothness to enhance excitement and flow.
