## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches the 'Catch and Rewind' move, focusing on executing a catch without turning and rewinding back to the starting position, practiced from both closed and close embrace positions.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders should step out of the way to allow space for the catch and rewind.
- Use shoulder turns and looking over the shoulder as signals for the rewind movement.
- Absorb into the floor and wait to feel the rewind instead of anticipating a turn.
- In close embrace, keep the right hand positioned correctly to help the partner rotate.
- Followers should keep their feet under their body throughout the rotation.

##REMEMBER
- The timing of the catch is crucial; connect as soon as you see your partner's back.
- This move requires both leader and follower to absorb and redirect energy without turning.
- Practice in close embrace involves less space, so keep movements small and controlled.
- Avoid rebounding by waiting for the lead instead of assuming the next action.
- The move enhances lead-follow skills by emphasizing precise communication and response.
