## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on combining a roll step with a foot twist or fan, slowing down the movement to add intensity and shape to the dance.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with weight on the left foot and roll through to the right, allowing the left heel to bear weight so the toe fans out.
- When fanning the foot, ensure the movement originates from the hip, not just the foot, to open the hip as you roll.
- Maintain one leg bent and the other straight during the roll and fan, but avoid locking the straight leg to keep it relaxed.
- Incorporate upper body resistance by pushing through the air in front of you as you roll and twist to enhance the movement's intensity.

##REMEMBER
- The combination involves rolling through one leg while fanning the other foot, creating a dynamic interplay between bent and straight legs.
- Focus on allowing the hip to open naturally to turn the leg out, ensuring the twist action engages the whole leg.
- Use the side view to observe and replicate the shape of having one bent and one straight leg for better visual appeal.
- Integrate this step with previously learned elements in the course to build complexity and flow in your dance routine.
