## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches shoulder drops, focusing on pulling the shoulder blade straight down the back for a subtle, isolated movement.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Engage the big muscle in the back to pull the shoulder blade down.
- Keep the arm loose and relaxed while dropping the shoulder.
- Practice one shoulder at a time to achieve isolation.
- Alternate shoulders slowly or speed up based on the music rhythm.
- Let the body be pulled with the shoulder as it drops.

##REMEMBER
- Focus on pulling the shoulder down rather than lifting it up.
- Keep the movement soft and subtle to maintain a natural aesthetic.
- Avoid making the other shoulder rise too much; it's a slight natural reaction.
- Shoulder drops can be used with any rhythm in the music for versatility.
