## FOCUS 
- This lesson explores choices for leaders and followers at the end of a send-out, focusing on establishing and playing with endpoints and rotation.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Think of the line as a point that stays fixed for the leader while the follower's point moves during the send-out.
- As a follower, slow down toward the end to signal a delay in reaching the endpoint, like gently applying brakes.
- Leaders can unfurl or untwist their point as the follower travels, allowing for styling choices in timing.
- Followers can spend extra time at the endpoint before unwrapping, adding playfulness to the movement.
- Use the 'closing the door' analogy to control how long it takes to finish the endpoint as a leader.

##REMEMBER
- Endpoints are established separately for leaders and followers, with the leader's point generally staying fixed and the follower's moving.
- Rotation within the point adds fun and variation, with timing affecting the partnership's dynamics.
- The choice of endpoint timing is a stylistic decision for both roles, enhancing musicality and connection.
- Avoid abrupt stops; instead, think of slowing down gradually to create smoother transitions.
- Practice observing and adjusting endpoint timing in send-outs to improve coordination and expression.
