## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches a variation for the catch on the follower's left side, focusing on a similar beginning but a different ending where leaders turn their body and move away to link arms or transition to closed position.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders should turn their body slightly toward the follower's direction and move out of the way during the catch.
- Followers should keep their arms at an available mid-height to easily link arms when the leader offers.
- Practice the sequence slowly: step, step, step, and walk together to ensure smooth execution.
- From linked arms, quickly drop the arm and place it on the partner's left side to transition to closed position.

##REMEMBER
- The beginning of the catch is the same as previous lessons, maintaining consistency in the initial steps.
- Keeping arms at a ready height helps followers catch cues and link arms efficiently during turns.
- This variation emphasizes adaptability in connection, allowing for either linked arms or immediate closed positions.
