## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on a cutting practice battle where dancers progressively increase difficulty to outdo their partner, then reset with a new topic to build from an easy start.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with a simple step like a step touch or walk to ease into the practice.
- Level up by adding layers, rhythms, or direction changes each time you enter.
- Change the game or topic after reaching a natural end to reset difficulty.
- Bring the difficulty back down when starting a new topic to allow progression.
- Use techniques learned throughout the course to enhance your moves.

##REMEMBER
- Progressively increase difficulty to challenge your partner in a battle format.
- Reset with a new topic to maintain engagement and allow for growth.
- Begin each new topic with an easy move to build momentum.
- Incorporate varied elements like rhythm and direction to add complexity.
- The goal is to one-up your partner until reaching a natural stopping point.
