## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on adding a spin and seated dip to the compression movement, with the goal of creating a compact and controlled ending without unnecessary travel.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders should ensure their right leg is behind their partner to facilitate the squat position.
- Followers should keep their feet underneath them and turn on the spot to avoid traveling.
- Use your head to look back for your leader to help spin faster if needed.
- Maintain elbow close to your body to avoid pushing and keep the movement compact.
- Practice compression and release without pushing to maintain connection.
- For the exit, step together after the dip, adjusting leg styling for stability.

##REMEMBER
- Ensure connection before going into the squat position to maintain control.
- Avoid pushing during the turn to prevent followers from traveling unnecessarily.
- Keep the movement compact and in place without extra directional energy.
- Time the seated dip to fit musical breaks for a natural flow.
- Followers should focus on their leader rather than looking at their feet or away.
- Leaders should pass followers smoothly from one arm to the other during the spin.
