## FOCUS 
- This lesson introduces the Koala Dip, a simple and beautiful move for leaders and followers to practice in close embrace, focusing on weight distribution and connection.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders start with weight on the right and turn towards the left shoulder on step two.
- Followers maintain a relaxed upper body and close embrace connection throughout the move.
- Leaders open the left shoulder and shift connection to the right side in the koala position.
- Followers keep the left leg relaxed and avoid tensing up during the turn.
- Exit by rotating and stepping in with three steps to return to normal close embrace.

##REMEMBER
- Weight is mainly on the left for leaders and right for followers in the koala position.
- Followers are responsible for their own weight and balance, not relying on the leader.
- Maintain a relaxed and upright posture to ensure smooth movement and connection.
- The connection shifts from the left side to the right side during the dip and back on exit.
