## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on practicing transitions between basic, rocks, and lowdown moves through a game where a caller directs a dancer, aiming to improve flow and smoothness in improvisation.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Take your time to transition between moves when called out.
- Focus on making transitions as smooth as possible.
- Use the swing motion to aid in transitioning between moves.

##REMEMBER
- Transitions should be smooth and preferably aligned with the music's phrasing.
- The game can be adapted for solo practice by following the instructor's instructions.
- In the next lesson, swinging in a different direction will be explored.
