## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches a seated dip on the opposite side from a previous lesson, focusing on a different entrance and catch technique while maintaining similar dipping mechanics.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders start with weight on the right and followers on the left in closed position.
- After two steps, end in a parallelogram with body rotation to match the leader.
- Followers should wait for the leader's lead before turning and keep looking in the direction of travel during the turn.
- Keep arms at center height for easy reconnection after disconnection.
- Leaders reconnect with the left hand first, then body, then step back before dipping.
- Exit the dip by stepping out with the left foot for leaders and right foot for followers.

##REMEMBER
- The technique for the seated dip is the same as on the other side, but it feels different due to connecting on the opposite side.
- Followers should go straight down during the dip without throwing themselves backwards to control momentum.
- Maintain body rotation but avoid overdoing it to prevent imbalance.
- Use the catch technique to redirect energy without anticipating the turn too quickly.
