## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches multiple endings for catches in dance, focusing on options where leaders don't move out of the way and followers walk into their partner, including adding a lunge.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders should connect on their partner's right side when coming back into close embrace.
- For the lunge, leaders should open up slightly, hinge forward, and keep the right leg straight with upper body toward the partner.
- Followers should maintain momentum from the turn and think of the lunge as a slight slide into the right leg, not pushing weight down all at once.
- Practice the lunge by slowly transferring weight, relaxing the pelvis, and absorbing into the ground before standing back up.
- Ensure arms are relaxed during movements to avoid pushing partners off balance.

##REMEMBER
- Maintain the momentum set up in the turn even after the turn stops.
- Timing is crucial for transitions, especially when adding the lunge at the end.
- Leaders initiate exits by transferring weight slowly and communicating changes to their partner.
- Followers should wait to feel what's happening next rather than preempting the move.
