+## FOCUS:
+- This lesson builds on a previous drill by adding more rotation, focusing on followers performing a half turn with 180-degree rotation while traveling on a single line.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+ - Rotate more on the third step instead of just facing the side.
+ - Release on the same line after the twist to maintain direction.
+ - Step directly under the body when releasing from the twist.
+ - Avoid extending the leg back or taking a big step during the release.
+ - Make the eighth step a very small step under the body.
+
+## REMEMBER:
+- The entire movement should travel on one long line for consistency.
+- Maintaining connection after the turn is crucial when partnered up.
+- Stepping under the body helps preserve balance and alignment.
+- Practice the rotation and release to ensure smooth transitions.
