## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches 'The Wrap', a dance move involving an inside turn and a seated dip, focusing on trust and dynamic energy between partners.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start in open position with leaders stepping forward and followers stepping back with rotation.
- Leaders use their right side and forearm to give followers extra impulse on the fourth step.
- Followers should relax their right leg to allow it to fly forward as a side effect of the energy.
- Practice slowly to build trust, especially when followers cannot see their leaders during the dip.
- Change rhythm at the beginning to make the move more dynamic, using faster turns for easier execution.

##REMEMBER
- Trust your partner during the dip, as followers rely on leaders for support when off-balance.
- Maintain a slight stretch in the arms without creating too much space between partners.
- Energy should be sent forward, with followers leaning into their own arms for a stretch.
- Leaders should keep their shoulders down and core strong to provide stability.
- The move requires coordination and practice with a partner to ensure safety and dramatic effect.
