## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches forward shoulder rolls, focusing on subtle movements using back muscles to open and close shoulder blades, with variations for styling and body integration.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Think about dropping the shoulders down in front or moving shoulder blades away from each other to open them.
- Use back muscles to pull shoulder blades together when closing them.
- Add a circular motion: go up and over as you open, then down and around as you close.
- Practice slowly in a mirror first before playing with music.
- Allow the body to move forwards as the shoulder circles, creating a twisted alignment.
- Try variations like doing both shoulders, one shoulder, or alternating shoulders.

##REMEMBER
- Focus on engaging back muscles for a contained, subtle movement rather than rolling shoulders wildly.
- Keep the movement central in the body to avoid a messy appearance.
- This styling can add a funky attitude to walks or stationary poses.
- Integrate body movement with shoulder styling for a more dynamic effect.
- Experiment with different variations to see how much body involvement works best.
- Use this technique to enhance posture and add cool styling to dance moves.
