## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches the 'Slow Quick Quick: Opposition' move in Latin Blues, focusing on how leaders can surprise followers by shifting into opposition and then reconnecting smoothly.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders start with weight on the right and do three steps: slow, quick, quick, then step, step, hold to maintain weight on the left.
- Leaders cheat by shifting back onto the right to surprise the follower and enter opposition.
- Followers keep doing the same slow, quick, quick steps while adjusting body angle to track the leader.
- Use a 'laser beam' concept on the chest to always face the leader for better connection and flow.
- Play with arm connections: release one hand, stay connected, or change hands as you move.
- Add noise or sounds to make the dance more enjoyable and expressive.

##REMEMBER
- The follower's footwork does not change; only the body angle adjusts to maintain connection with the leader.
- Opposition is achieved by leaders shifting weight unexpectedly, creating a magical effect without disrupting the step pattern.
- Maintain a slight body angle towards your partner for comfort and better arm connection during the move.
- Once in the groove, you can experiment with arm positions and connections to personalize the style.
- This move is simple but effective, allowing for playful variations and added fun in dancing.
- Tracking the leader with body alignment helps maintain flow and connection throughout the opposition shift.
