## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches the swinging low downs, a hip-swinging move with a triple rhythm, focusing on staying low and connected to the ground while exaggerating hip movement.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Use a triple rhythm: one and two, three and four for the footwork.
- Roll through the feet and stay connected to the ground to avoid bouncing.
- Focus on making the hips heavy to help stay low and grounded.
- Exaggerate the hip swing at the end of each step for more impact.
- Keep the head still while the hips move to exaggerate the shape.
- Add rotation to the hips and foot styling for variation.

##REMEMBER
- Maintain a low posture with the whole body forward for the swinging low downs.
- Let the arms move naturally in the opposite direction to the hips for balance.
- The move combines foot rhythm, hip swinging, and getting low for a complete shape.
- Practice both sideways swing and rotated versions for versatility.
