## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on performing a 180-degree rotation with a partner in a close embrace, emphasising the use of contra-body movement to create space and maintain connection.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Close the brace as before to maintain the embrace.
- Step under yourself on count five instead of stepping back.
- Keep the connection in the body and avoid pulling away or falling back.
- Relax your spine and take your time during the movement.
- Ensure early preparation by leaders and active following by followers.

##REMEMBER
- Contra-body turning helps create space for followers to travel down a line.
- Maintaining a close embrace is crucial during the rotation.
- The timing of the contra-body movement is key to success.
- If issues arise, review previous videos for technique tips.
