## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches a side-by-side variation leading into an inside turn, focusing on transitioning from side-by-side to closed position and back.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders face their partner between the third and fourth steps to slide the connection into closed position.
- Followers keep their free arm at center level during the turn to reconnect easily in side-by-side.
- For height differences, followers can raise their arm over the top without lifting the elbow first.
- Leaders can end in closed position by placing their hand on the partner's left side on the third step.

##REMEMBER
- Transition smoothly from side-by-side to closed position by sliding the arms during the turn.
- Maintain a relaxed and available arm position to facilitate reconnection in side-by-side.
- Adjust arm movements for height differences to ensure comfort and avoid injury.
- Practice timing to end in the desired position, whether side-by-side or closed.
