## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on the fishtail step, building on shapes from the hip action course to explore torsion and tension in the movement. The goal is to enhance the fishtail by adding rotations in the hips and chest, using core support to control the swing.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with a basic, relaxed fishtail and slow the movement down to create torsion when coming up.
- Use tension in the abs to support the hip swing, feeling the support from the upper belly.
- Add rotations in the hips during the fishtail step, then call it back to build tension.
- Focus on the chest by letting it go and come back during the fishtail, ignoring hip rotation temporarily.
- Shake it off and relax between practice segments to release built-up tension.

##REMEMBER
- Torsion and tension in the movement are key for enhancing the fishtail step.
- Support hip swings from the core, specifically using upper belly tension.
- Incorporate rotations in different body parts like hips and chest to add dimension.
- Slow down movements to better control and feel the tension and rotations.
- Review previous lessons on hip action and rotations if needed for better understanding.
