## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches a lunge variation with a leg flick entrance, focusing on coordinated movement between partners and controlled transitions into the lunge.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders flick the left leg forward on count two while swinging the center forward.
- Followers relax the right leg to flick backward as the center swings back on count two.
- Keep the flicking leg straight if possible, but bending is acceptable based on flexibility.
- Control the down into the lunge by attaching toes to the floor and sliding if needed.
- Practice with different timings for the flick and lunge entrance to match the music.
- Maintain distance from your partner to avoid kicking during the leg flick.

##REMEMBER
- The leg flick does not touch the floor again until the lunge, emphasizing fluid motion.
- Partners should synchronize their movements, with leaders moving forward and followers moving backward.
- Exaggerate the flick based on energy from your partner for a more dynamic effect.
- Adjust your balance by smiling if you feel like falling during the lunge.
- Use the slide technique from previous lessons to control the entrance into the lunge.
- Timing of the flick and lunge is flexible and should adapt to the song being danced to.
