## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches the Cross Steps in Opposition move, focusing on executing a triple step in opposition with a partner in a repetitive loop, including an exit with an inside turn.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders do four steps slightly faster than followers to end in the correct position.
- Use a laser beam concept to track your partner and maintain upper body connection during opposition.
- For the exit, leaders raise their left arm to lead an inside turn while both partners have weight on their left.
- Step under your body during the turn to avoid traveling away from your partner.
- Practice the move from closed or open position with the same rules applying.

##REMEMBER
- Both leaders and followers are responsible for staying connected through the laser beam concept.
- The rhythm for the steps is consistent, such as one and two, to maintain timing.
- The move can be repeated indefinitely and adapted with different counts like two, four, or eight.
- Transition into the move from basics, starting with specific weight positions for leaders and followers.
