## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on the technique of rolling through the feet to control steps and add emotion to movement, exploring how resistance in the foot engages the whole body.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Lift the foot with a relaxed ankle and reconnect by pushing down from the ball of the foot first.
- Imagine a squishy ball under the heel to create resistance as you roll down through the foot.
- Activate the foot muscles and engage leg muscles to achieve the rolling action.
- Start by stepping slowly without music to focus on the rolling technique.
- Mix relaxed stepping with rolling to feel the difference and fit it to music.

##REMEMBER
- Rolling through the feet helps slow down and control your steps effectively.
- The resistance felt in the foot should extend through the whole body for better movement.
- This technique can add emotional expression to your dance by altering body shape.
- Practice rolling by connecting toes, ball, center, and heel sequentially.
- Use rolling to create a sense of pushing through thicker air with the entire body.
