## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on using swing in dance to add dynamics and speed up moves more easily, specifically practicing with an inside turn to demonstrate how swing facilitates smoother redirection and faster execution.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Maintain swing in the hips during the outside turn to keep energy in the body.
- Use a triple rhythm for redirection, such as 'one and two', without jumping.
- Roll your feet and keep them connected to the floor during turns.
- Leaders should redirect existing swing energy rather than creating new energy.
- Practice with different outside turn speeds, like slow or stepping every beat.
- Try redirecting earlier for a faster inside turn while keeping it smooth.

##REMEMBER
- Swing helps communication and makes adding dynamics easier without stress.
- The energy from swing in the hips allows for effortless redirection into faster moves.
- Focus on maintaining the same motion and rhythm even when speeding up.
- Incorporate swing into all parts of your dancing to enhance dynamics.
- Experiment with different speeds and redirection timings to keep turns smooth.
