## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on bluesy out and ins, teaching how to integrate them with cross steps and opposition steps from previous classes, using compression for movement transitions.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Use compression to spring back with a triple rhythm, feeling it from the hands down into the centers.
- Step under your body on the release, moving the body first before the feet.
- Maintain a secure frame with a bit of resistance for effective compression.
- Practice transitioning from cross steps to out and ins by getting compression on count six.
- Exit by asking for rotation instead of compression to return to cross steps.

##REMEMBER
- Compression happens because bodies move closer together, not by tensing muscles.
- Ensure movement continues through space to achieve compression without stopping.
- Focus on efficiency and relaxation in the body during practice.
- Give and receive feedback with a partner to improve technique and feel.
