## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on adding level changes to dance movements, teaching techniques for going low and high with control to enhance riffing.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Bend your knees to get low while thinking upward to stay buoyant and avoid collapsing.
- Squeeze your butt and core muscles to make getting up from a low position easier.
- Hinge from the hips to lower your spine while maintaining posture, not slumping from the shoulders.
- Use your arms as wings starting from the center of your back to create height and upward energy.
- Adjust your eye line and focus to enhance the perception of going higher or lower in your movements.

##REMEMBER
- Level changes involve both physical positioning and attention to presentation, such as arm use and posture.
- Think up to go down and press down to go up for smoother transitions between levels.
- Maintain core support and a natural spine curve when hinging from the hips to avoid injury.
- Incorporate level changes along with size and rhythm variations when practicing riffing for natural interaction.
