## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on posture and points of connection in close embrace, aiming to achieve a relaxed, upright posture and light physical contact for optimal partner connection.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Maintain an upright posture with weight centered in the middle of the feet.
- Keep arms relaxed and avoid holding or squeezing your partner.
- Look over your partner's shoulder to keep your neck straight and head upright.
- Think of yourselves as slightly melted chocolate bars to stay squishy and connected.
- Use a deflate button on the chest to release tension if needed.

##REMEMBER
- Dance your own height and maintain posture regardless of your partner's size.
- Connection points vary with size differences, so adapt naturally without forcing contact.
- Avoid connecting heads to prevent discomfort and maintain good posture.
- Ensure arms are light and relaxed, with weight staying in your own body.
