## FOCUS 
- This lesson builds on the catch and rewind by adding an extra rotation and a dramatic slide at the end, focusing on fluid movement and momentum.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Connect with the leader as soon as possible after the catch.
- Make the last step bigger by adding a slide or dramatic movement.
- Leaders should leave enough space for the follower's arm to go over during the turn.
- Followers should keep turning until stopped by the leader after release from the catch.
- Leaders should prepare for the slide while turning, keeping weight on the left foot.

##REMEMBER
- The move can be performed starting and finishing in close embrace with adjusted connection.
- Avoid rushing the closing brace to prevent getting trapped in the middle.
- Fluidity is key, with the leader following the follower's momentum during the turn.
- Ensure space is maintained between partners to allow for smooth arm movements.
