## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on performing a faster turn into a lunge, building on previous technique by changing the timing and rhythm of the footwork.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Roll through your feet during the turn and avoid jumping to maintain a linear energy pathway.
- Leaders should connect quickly with their right arm and lead by moving their body faster, not by pulling with the arm.
- Followers should keep energy linear with their partner and avoid panicking or jumping in the turn.
- Practice mixing the slow and faster turn versions to improve communication and response to energy differences.

##REMEMBER
- The technique from previous classes remains the same; only the timing and rhythm of the footwork change.
- Energy should be sent linearly across the space, with no up-and-down movement during the turn.
- Leaders must lead through body movement speed, not by adding tension to the arm.
- Followers should feel the difference in the leader's prep and rhythm, not guess the turn type.
