## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on the leader's role in controlling the timing of the follower's movement during leverage, building on previous concepts where the follower initiated the action.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- The leader adapts to the follower's extra leverage and then communicates when to release.
- Maintain the line to send leverage down, but adjust if the partner increases energy.
- Use the leverage to create deeper energy and encourage movement along the line.
- Release together after generating energy in the line.

##REMEMBER
- The leader decides when the follower can pass after adapting to leverage.
- Breaking the line should send leverage down, but partner energy can prevent movement.
- Leverage can be used to create shapes and deeper energy for dynamic movement.
