## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches the leg spiral move, focusing on turning the leg from the hip joint to create a figure-eight shape with the foot on the floor, and how to enter and exit the move while dancing.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Keep the support leg slightly bent and anchored, with the moving leg weightless.
- Use the tip of the toe or shoe to brush the floor in a figure-eight pattern.
- Initiate the spiral from the hip joint for smooth movement.
- Enter the spiral by turning the leg inwards after a step, and exit by turning outwards into a step.

##REMEMBER
- The leg spiral is an isolation move that enhances footwork with interesting shapes.
- Practice on both legs to balance muscle engagement and coordination.
- Integrate the spiral into dance by timing entries and exits with music phrasing.
