## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on mirroring dance moves to the other side, specifically using the follower's left arm and leader's right arm, with the goal of practicing pass-by moves and turns on the less dominant side.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with weight on the leader's left and follower's right leg for mirroring.
- Increase energy on count three to communicate a change in speed.
- Keep arms stretched and avoid pulling; use body movement instead.
- Maintain frame by ensuring the arm and body move together during turns.
- For outside turns, keep the shoulder down and let the body follow the arm rotation.

##REMEMBER
- Practice all moves on both sides to build versatility as a dancer.
- Focus on connection through the arm into the shoulder and body for energy transfer.
- Avoid traveling too much during turns to maintain balance and frame.
- Use the same techniques as previous lessons but adapted for the mirrored side.
