## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches the press back move to transition from close embrace to closed dance position in Texas Shuffle, enhancing the dance's pulse.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Lean weight forward to initiate the follower's step back.
- Step back yourself as the follower steps back.
- Practice from different angles to master the transition.

##REMEMBER
- Texas Shuffle is primarily a closed dance position dance, with 60-70% of the dance enclosed.
- The press back is a simple method to move from close embrace to closed position.
- Closed position allows for a stronger and larger pulse compared to close embrace.
