## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches the Four Corners move, a hip-focused variation of basic steps that involves rotating the body to four directions and adding hip pushes and scoops.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with weight on the right foot and do two-count basics in place before adding rotation.
- Add a hip push when rotating to each corner, keeping feet in place and twisting the body.
- Incorporate a scoop around the back as you transfer weight to the other leg for the final layer.
- Practice with arms extended to visualize the ribbon-like shape of the movement.
- Keep heels on the floor to avoid popping up and maintain relaxed, heavy hips with bent knees.
- Use a mirror to check your form and press an imaginary 'deflate button' to release tension.

##REMEMBER
- The move is named after hitting four corners of an imaginary box with your hips.
- It can be adapted in size from subtle to large swings for stylistic variation.
- In partner dancing, communicate through arm connection without forcing the move on your partner.
- Travel the move by stepping slightly forward instead of collecting the leg under the body.
- It works well as a substitution for basic steps in both closed and open positions.
- Focus on swinging the hips softly with momentum rather than pushing them for a natural flow.
