## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on adding a slide into promenade variations in Ballroom Blues, starting with a basic option and progressing to a more rotational version.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Step, step, down, slide for the basic option.
- Leaders communicate going down and closing in front to prepare for the slide.
- In option two, add rotation on the third step while closing.
- Slide diagonally to maintain balance and flow.
- Followers pivot on the right foot during the rotational slide.

##REMEMBER
- The slide timing is consistent, but rotation varies between options.
- Upper body lean helps maintain balance during the slide.
- Option two involves more opening and rotation than the basic version.
- Practice both options to understand the differences in movement.
