## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on modifying a stretch-and-turn move by adding speed changes and a new ending, specifically teaching a triple rhythm for followers and a faster turn with three steps.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Add more energy to lead the follower through with a triple rhythm.
- Perform a triple rhythm in your own body to signal the follower to do the same.
- Keep the arm connection super relaxed after the stretch.
- Pivot on the left leg for rotation during the turn.
- End by slowly turning to face your partner whenever desired.

##REMEMBER
- Use increased energy to communicate speed changes to the follower.
- Maintain balance on the left leg during the turn for stability.
- Relax the arm connection to avoid unnecessary tension.
- The turn now has three steps instead of two for a faster pace.
