## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches a spin into a rotational dip, focusing on maintaining connection and frame to achieve smooth rotation and a controlled dip position.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start in side-by-side position with the leader's hand over the follower's right hand, palm down and relaxed.
- Send the follower out with two steps, keeping them close to maintain connection.
- Ask the follower to rotate on the spot after the initial steps, using a slight hand lift.
- Leaders reconnect with the right hand on the follower's back as they turn, then join the rotation.
- In the dip, leaders stay straight and use core muscles, while followers hold around the waist and look elegantly.
- For the exit, send the follower out with two steps and reconnect to transition smoothly.

##REMEMBER
- Maintain frame and shoulder connection to allow proper body rotation without breaking the movement.
- Followers should rotate only when led with sufficient energy, not just from instruction.
- The dip involves a lean without stepping on the final count, keeping weight on the right foot.
- Rotational energy should be sustained throughout the move to ease the dip and exit.
- Practice with controlled steps and gentle movements to build comfort and precision.
