## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches the 'Tick Tocks' move, focusing on twisting foot actions with alternating weight between the ball and heel to travel sideways.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Alternate weight between the ball and heel of each foot, with one foot on the ball and the other on the heel at all times.
- Twist the whole leg from the hip socket, not just at the ankle or knee.
- Keep the feet close together, with toes or heels touching to maintain balance and prevent widening.
- Maintain a pulse or rhythm in the body with each foot change to aid movement.
- Lean the upper body forward slightly to help with balance during side-to-side travel.
- Practice slowly and change direction fluidly without stopping the rhythm.

##REMEMBER
- The movement direction is always where you want to travel, with the toe or heel moving accordingly.
- Ensure the feet stay under the body and movements are small to maintain control.
- When changing direction, keep the alternating heel-toe rhythm consistent and fluid.
- Focus on posture and balance to avoid becoming unbalanced during the twists.
