## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on the single time fishtail, a faster version of the fishtail move performed on every beat, with the goal of practicing it both solo and partnered to enhance lead and follow skills.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Keep steps small and under the body for control at speed.
- Collect the free leg on the 'and' count to maintain balance.
- Communicate weight transfer clearly when partnered to indicate tempo changes.
- Increase body tone slightly for the fast fishtail to signal the change.

##REMEMBER
- The pivot happens on the 'and' count while the step is on the main beat.
- Single time fishtail is faster with a pulse every count, not double.
- Partnership requires leaders to signal tempo shifts for followers to adapt.
- This move practices musicality and lead-follow dynamics effectively.
