## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches quarter time stepping, which involves moving at a quarter of the speed of single time, stepping once every four counts while elongating the movement.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Step only on the one count and elongate that step to last four counts.
- Avoid freezing or holding still for the three counts after stepping.
- Keep moving your body continuously, like dancing in slow motion.
- Practice stepping once every four counts without stopping movement.

##REMEMBER
- Quarter time means moving four times slower than single time stepping.
- The goal is to step once every four counts while maintaining fluid motion.
- Focus on elongating each step to fill the entire four-count duration.
- Avoid cheating by holding a static position; always keep the body in motion.
