## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on practicing the 'Funky Butt' swing while keeping weight on one side, with the goal of mastering this movement individually and then applying it in partnered dancing.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Swing the free hip back while keeping weight on one side.
- Add a little rotation into the hip for a nicer feel.
- Leaders should clearly keep weight on one side in their own body to signal the partner.
- Stay on the spot or move a little with no rush.
- Keep movements small and subtle to enjoy the feeling.

##REMEMBER
- Weight stays on the same side throughout the swing.
- Let the connection be dynamic and change based on comfort.
- Partners can initiate the weight shift, but it's optional.
- The swing is similar to non-funky funky butts but with fixed weight.
- Enjoy the movement of hips through space without rushing.
