## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on performing soft kicks with a light and fluffy texture, aiming to relax the legs and swing the foot softly through the air without force.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Imagine strings attached to your knees like a puppet to control the kick and release.
- Swing the leg forward with the foot hanging from the knee, then bring it back in with a puppet-like motion.
- Step the foot underneath the hip after bringing it back in to maintain balance.
- Travel forward by swinging the leg forward and placing the foot in front of you instead of directly under the hip.
- Relax into the ground when placing the foot after a kick step, keeping it soft and effortless.
- Add soft kicks onto a walk to practice traveling around the room.

##REMEMBER
- The kick should be super relaxed, not powerful, like walking through a meadow.
- Focus on a light and fluffy texture in the legs or feet for a soft movement.
- Use the puppet leg imagery to guide the kick and return motion.
- Keep the movement lovely and soft, playing with tempo and direction as you practice.
