+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson breaks down the slide move in Ballroom Blues, teaching proper technique for weight transfer, balance, and leading/following in various dance positions.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Push off from your center/belly button rather than just stepping.
+- Let the non-weight-bearing leg drag like scraping gum off a shoe.
+- Keep knees aligned with toes during preparation to prevent injury.
+- Leaders should prepare by going down before pushing off to communicate the slide.
+- Followers should feel the energy going down into the floor as preparation.
+- Practice with eyes closed to focus on feeling the lead rather than watching.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- Lean upper body opposite the slide direction to maintain balance.
+- The slide should be a comfortable size for the smallest partner.
+- Preparation timing can vary with music tempo and leader's choice.
+- Weight must be 100% on one leg during preparation.
+- The slide can be done in closed position, close embrace, or side-by-side.
+- Always lead movements from the center of the body.

+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson focuses on adding a slide into promenade variations in Ballroom Blues, starting with a basic option and progressing to a more rotational version.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Step, step, down, slide for the basic option.
+- Leaders communicate going down and closing in front to prepare for the slide.
+- In option two, add rotation on the third step while closing.
+- Slide diagonally to maintain balance and flow.
+- Followers pivot on the right foot during the rotational slide.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- The slide timing is consistent, but rotation varies between options.
+- Upper body lean helps maintain balance during the slide.
+- Option two involves more opening and rotation than the basic version.
+- Practice both options to understand the differences in movement.

+
+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson recaps and combines previously learned moves into a short routine, focusing on transitioning between them diagonally to practice with more space and clarity.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Start with leaders' weight on the right and followers' on the left for the initial basics.
+- Use the cue 'basic, basic, step and slide' to remember the first sequence.
+- Ensure slides finish in side-by-side or close embrace positions as specified.
+- Practice transitions slowly, such as in the 'walk in the park' variation with a slow slide.
+- Count steps aloud (e.g., 'one, two, three, four, five') to maintain timing and coordination.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- Transitions between moves should be smooth and practiced in different directions for spatial awareness.
+- Maintain proper positioning, such as side-by-side or close embrace, to execute moves correctly.
+- The routine builds on familiar steps, allowing dancers to focus on flow and connection rather than new techniques.
+- Use diagonal movement to maximize space and visibility during practice.
+- Repetition with and without music helps solidify the routine and improve confidence.

+
+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson introduces the Close Embrace technique in ballroom blues, focusing on achieving a comfortable and connected dancing hug through proper posture and relaxed arm placement.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Maintain an upright posture with weight centered in the middle of the feet for better connection.
+- Keep arms relaxed and light, resting on your partner without clamping down or squeezing.
+- Look over your partner's shoulder with a straight neck to avoid head dropping and tension.
+- Use a 'deflate button' on the chest to release tension if you or your partner feel too stiff.
+- Imagine being slightly melted chocolate bars that squish together softly when connecting.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- Connect based on your own posture and height, adjusting naturally to size differences without compromising form.
+- Avoid connecting heads to prevent discomfort and maintain a nice open V position for ease of movement.
+- Ensure both partners are balanced independently, not relying on each other for support during steps.
+- Keep shoulders relaxed to prevent tension from creeping up into the hands and arms.
+- Practice with a forward connection into your partner, maintaining posture even when stepping back.

+
+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson builds on previous techniques by introducing a 'close-open' pattern in promenade, focusing on rotating the body and creating fluid movements, with variations like moving along a line or forming a box shape.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Leaders should rotate their body on step three and take a small step with the right foot under the body on step four.
+- Followers should feel the leader's body opening and mirror that motion to maintain effortless flow.
+- Practice in slightly slidy sole shoes to ease pivoting on the left foot during turns.
+- Ensure step four is taken under the body while staying in closed embrace for balance.
+- Open gradually on step four, completing the movement by step one for smoother transitions.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- The 'close-open' pattern involves alternating between closing in front and opening outwards to create continuous motion.
+- Variations include moving along a line or forming a box by rotating more with each opening.
+- Maintain connection in closed embrace throughout to ensure fluidity and partnership coordination.
+- Focus on body rotation to guide direction changes, especially when creating shapes like a box.

+
+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson teaches an inside turn variation in the promenade for Ballroom Blues, focusing on achieving a parallelogram body position through rotation and connection.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Leaders should slide their right hand from the follower's right to left side between steps four and five.
+- Followers should keep their right leg under the body and step on a line while turning.
+- Maintain the hand in the middle between partners during the turn setup.
+- Leaders step forward toward the follower on step five to create space.
+- Followers should track the leader with their eyes during the turn to avoid arm entrapment.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- Rotation in the body creates the parallelogram position, not just stepping.
+- Come back into side-by-side position only on the last step of the turn.
+- Keep the connection relaxed and allow the bodies to separate slightly during the turn.
+- The hand should move over the top to lead the inside turn and then return to connection.

+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson introduces three new endings for the inside turn variation in Ballroom Blues, focusing on transitioning from a promenade to different positions like closed, close embrace, and left shoulder alignment.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Leaders step back on steps one, two, three to create space for the follower.
+- Followers should look at the leader during the turn to gauge connection and positioning.
+- In close embrace, leaders avoid sliding the arm and connect on step one.
+- For the left shoulder ending, leaders step back and slightly to the side on step six to clear the way.
+- Followers maintain momentum after the turn and keep walking when connecting with the partner.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- Connect as soon as possible when seeing your partner's back to re-establish position.
+- Leaders should signal clearly which ending they intend, while followers trust and feel the placement.
+- Practice mixing and matching endings with music to build confidence and vocabulary in transitions.
+- Maintain space and connection throughout the turn to ensure smooth flow into basics.

+
+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson teaches a promenade into an outside turn variation in Ballroom Blues, focusing on leading and following the rotational movement with proper technique.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Start lifting the left hand on count 4 to initiate the turn without pushing.
+- Leaders should relax the right hand when separating from the partner during the turn.
+- Followers should maintain momentum by feeling the rotational energy from the leader's movement.
+- Keep the shoulder connected and the arm within peripheral vision to avoid injury and follow the lead.
+- Maintain a slightly forwards posture and pulse in the body to stay balanced during turns.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- The rotation happens from body movement, not from pushing with the left hand.
+- Followers should continue turning naturally, using the connection to follow the leader's speed.
+- Proper frame and shoulder connection are crucial for safety and effective following in outside turns.
+- Avoid leaning back in turns to prevent loss of balance and maintain upright posture.

+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Leaders drop the hand and step forward on count eight to initiate the separation.
+- Leaders maintain hands low and rotate their body towards the partner to lead the reconnection without using arm force.
+- Followers should be sensitive to the leader's body rotation and match it for a smooth turn.
+- Allow the hands to move naturally during the turn, keeping them relaxed and in palm-to-palm contact.
+- Add extra steps during the promenade for a 'walk in the park' feel, turning whenever ready.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- The reconnection is led by body rotation, not arm movement, to avoid forcing the partner.
+- Keep momentum and pathway consistent during the turn without reconnecting hands immediately.
+- Practice the sequence from counts five to eight to master the timing of the separation and step.
+- The promenade allows for flexibility, such as adding extra steps for a relaxed, flowing dance.

+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson focuses on rotating in close embrace in ballroom blues, teaching how to maintain posture and connection while turning in place, with two exit options to transition out of the rotation.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Maintain close embrace posture with feet and legs close to avoid imbalance.
+- Imagine chasing your tail to practice stepping under your body for efficient rotation.
+- Keep a steady pulse with each step to maintain timing and connection.
+- For the first exit, leaders step forward on step four to convert rotational energy into linear movement.
+- For the second exit, leaders open the arm on step four to create space for momentum without pulling.
+- Followers should keep legs relaxed to avoid blocking the leader's movement.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- Aim for a single axis of rotation by staying close to prevent imbalance.
+- Rotation involves stepping under the body, not taking big steps, for efficiency.
+- Maintain connection and posture throughout to ensure smooth transitions.
+- Exits should use momentum rather than force, with leaders creating space for followers.
+- Practice with music and incorporate side-by-side moves after exiting the rotation.

+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson teaches free turns in dance, focusing on executing outside and inside turns without hand connections, and how to seamlessly reconnect afterwards.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Leaders lead free outside turns without lifting the left hand and let go as the follower starts rotating.
+- Followers maintain the pathway set by the leader by looking in the direction of travel and keeping posture slightly forward.
+- Keep arms at an available height during free turns to allow for easy reconnection with the partner.
+- For free inside turns, leaders step back to initiate the turn, relying on existing body rotation in the follower.
+- Ensure rotation is present in the body before leading a free inside turn to avoid walking straight forward.
+- Practice transitioning from a slow outside turn into a free inside turn without stopping.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- Free turns involve letting go of hand connections while maintaining body rotation and momentum.
+- Communication through body positioning and eye direction helps maintain alignment during turns.
+- Arm placement is crucial for seamless reconnection after a free turn.
+- Leaders should focus on stepping and body movement rather than pulling to lead free turns effectively.
+- Followers must keep their pulse and posture to avoid imbalance during rotation.
+- Free turns allow for creative variations and smooth integration into dance sequences.

+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Leaders should lift their left arm to create a doorway for followers to turn through.
+- Followers should keep shoulders relaxed and ensure they can see the inside of their elbow during turns.
+- Leaders prepare the turn by opening their body and lifting hands slightly at the end of the fourth basic.
+- For the second version, leaders lead with a wider hand position to signal traveling away into an open connection.
+- Followers should take four basics (eight counts) for the slow turn and three basics (six counts) for the traveling turn.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- The turn speed is controlled by the leader, so followers should not rush and enjoy the moment.
+- Maintain a relaxed connection to protect shoulders and follow the leader's signals accurately.
+- At the end of the turn, leaders should drop their hands to avoid wrapping up the connection.

+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson focuses on performing the basic outside turn faster by stepping every beat, building on previous knowledge to increase speed and energy while maintaining control.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Step every beat for three counts, then touch or collect on the fourth count.
+- Leaders should use their whole body to communicate energy, not just arms, to guide the follower.
+- Followers should feel the directional energy from the lead and travel slightly during the turn.
+- At the end of the turn, end in a more open position rather than coming back around in front.
+- Practice transitioning back to basics slowly after the turn to chill out and reset.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- The turn involves a change in rhythm from stepping every two beats to every beat, with a clear pulse shift in the leader's body.
+- Energy for faster movement comes from the entire body engaging, similar to speeding up when in a rush, but avoid excessive force.
+- Communication in the turn is through guiding, not pushing, using both sides of the body to signal direction.

+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson teaches the walking inside turn, focusing on stepping every beat and transitioning from four basics to the turn with proper lead and follow techniques.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Leaders open up the body and lift hands slightly to prepare for the turn.
+- Step through the turn on a line, using directional energy rather than just rotation.
+- Keep shoulders down and elbows relaxed, with the inside of the elbow visible during the turn.
+- Leaders place the right hand behind the partner's back between the third and fourth counts to signal coming back together.
+- Maintain palm-to-palm hand position throughout the turn to avoid wrist soreness.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- The inside turn involves both rotational and directional energy compared to slower turns.
+- Practice turning on a line, such as a floorboard, to improve footwork accuracy.
+- Ensure smooth transitions from basics to the turn with clear hand signals.
+- Focus on consistent stepping rhythm to maintain timing throughout the movement.

+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson focuses on mixing inside and outside turns at different speeds, teaching how to lead and follow tempo changes clearly.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- For slow turns, maintain the same energy and rhythm, only changing the pathway.
+- For fast turns, increase energy slightly and step every beat to signal the change.
+- Use follow lag by waiting for the leader's initiation before starting a turn.
+- When transitioning from fast to slow, relax and release energy while maintaining pulse.
+- Travel a bit more space in faster turns to make movement easier.
+- Practice mixing turns with music to refine lead and follow skills.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- The difference between slow and fast turns is signaled by changes in energy and pathway, not just footwork.
+- Clear communication through pulse and body energy is essential for effective leading and following.
+- End positions for turns are similar, allowing flexibility in transitions and sequences.
+- Use turns as a training opportunity to improve partner communication and responsiveness.

+
+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson teaches leaders how to perform turns for themselves, starting with techniques similar to leading followers' outside turns but adapted for self-turning.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Keep hands closer to the body and higher to create space for turning under.
+- Maintain the frame by keeping shoulders down and following the elbow during the turn.
+- Drop the elbow at the end of the turn to avoid hitting the follower and keep it relaxed.
+- For comfort, place the hand on your shoulder or behind the leg during the turn.
+- In inside turns, change hand position to be below with a cupped grip and move it in front before turning.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- Always be able to see your elbow to maintain proper form and avoid injury.
+- Keep the arm relaxed so it can slide back into hold smoothly after the turn.
+- Adjust techniques like letting go of the hand for height differences or comfort.
+- Practice turns slowly and take your time to ensure control and safety.

+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson focuses on linking different connections seamlessly in blues dance, specifically transitioning between open position, closed position, and closed embrace within one dance.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Leaders offer the hand to initiate connections, while followers accept and create the connection once the leader's arm is in place.
+- To transition into closed position, step toward your partner with the basic and meet in the middle to make the connection together.
+- When going from closed embrace to side by side, the hand doesn't slide; it's simply a change in body angle that followers should feel and follow.
+- To go back into open position, simply move away a little further from each other, maintaining a smooth flow.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- Transitions between positions should be seamless and intuitive, allowing for fluid movement throughout the dance.
+- Followers should pay attention to subtle changes in body angle from the leader to guide their movements and maintain connection.
+- Practice linking the two count basic and walk in all different positions to enhance versatility and comfort in blues dancing.
+- The goal is to use both basic steps and walks cohesively, enabling dynamic and expressive dancing without interruption.

+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Generate a pulse from the music to establish a shared language with your partner.
+- Leaders should use their entire body, not just their feet, to give clear information to followers.
+- Followers should look at the leader's upper body to sense movement and pulse, not at their feet.
+- Always assume the slowest speed as a follower to avoid stepping before the leader leads a change.
+- Maintain a constant distance between bodies when traveling to keep connection smooth.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- Both partners need to find a compromise in pulse that fits each other and the music for effective communication.
+- The leader's body leads the follower's body, emphasizing whole-body movement in the dance.
+- Leaders must be clear when changing speeds or energy, especially transitioning between basics and walks.
+- Avoid rushing the music; stay connected to the ground and breathe to maintain a relaxed pace.
+- Focus on doing your own role well without worrying about your partner, as clarity and timing are key.

+- Followers should drop their arms relaxed, fold the left arm with the wrist at the leader's elbow level, and wrap the hand gently for connection.
+- Maintain a distance where a third person could fit between partners to avoid being too close or far.
+- Practice with eyes closed to improve connection and avoid anticipating movements.
+- Keep hands in a natural wrist line to prevent pain and ensure a relaxed shape.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- The arms aid communication but should not be used to pull or push; the body leads the movement.
+- Avoid clinging or rushing; maintain a gentle, balanced posture for better connection.
+- Connection should allow movement in all directions without discomfort or trapping.
+- Focus on lazy, relaxed dancing to enhance flow and reduce strain.

+- Maintain consistent footwork and posture during transitions and while dancing in side-by-side.
+- Side-by-side allows for flexibility in movement, such as traveling around the room.

+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson introduces the Close Embrace in Blues dancing, focusing on achieving a comfortable and connected posture with a partner while maintaining individual balance and relaxation.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Maintain an upright posture with weight centered in the middle of the feet for better connection.
+- Keep arms relaxed and light, avoiding clamping down or squeezing your partner.
+- Look over your partner's shoulder to keep your neck straight and head upright.
+- Use a 'deflate button' on the chest to release tension if you or your partner feel too tense.
+- Imagine being slightly melted chocolate bars to visualize a soft, connected embrace without losing posture.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- Connect at your own height and maintain posture regardless of partner size differences.
+- Avoid connecting heads to prevent discomfort and maintain a relaxed neck and shoulders.
+- The embrace should feel like a 'dancing hug' with a slight open V position, not entirely face-to-face.
+- Both partners should be balanced and not rely on each other for support during movement.
+- Relax your shoulders and let your hands fall naturally to avoid tension creeping up.

+
+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson teaches how to incorporate the hip push variation into partnered Jooking Blues, focusing on leading and following techniques in open and closed positions.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Leaders can signal staying on one side by stopping and going down slightly before pushing forward.
+- Followers can add the hip push independently as styling without needing a lead from the basic.
+- Use a clear step to the side with weight transfer to lead out of the hip push back to the basic.
+- In the push-on-one variation, leaders stay on one side and lead the step on two to maintain sync.
+- Add up-and-down movement to the hip push for extra styling, initiated by either partner.
+- Practice with eight counts of basic followed by eight counts of hip push on one side.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- The hip push is a personal styling variation that does not require leading; only the basic weight shifts are led.
+- Maintain clear communication through weight shifts to indicate whether to continue the basic or stay on one side.
+- The movement should be relaxed and not enforced on the partner, allowing for independent styling choices.
+- In the push-on-one version, ensure weight shifts stay in sync to avoid breaking the lead-follow connection.
+- Options include doing the hip push in open or closed position, with or without added level changes.

+
+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson focuses on practicing the hip push move in side-by-side position, with the goal of mastering diagonal pushes and smooth transitions between basics and hip pushes.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Maintain a slight V-shape with your partner and push diagonally towards the corner of the room.
+- Pivot on one leg with 100% weight on that leg, keeping the free leg close under your hip.
+- Adjust arm connections for comfort to keep shoulders relaxed, especially if height differences exist.
+- Incorporate a level change by going low on the hip push and rising back up to aid communication.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- The hip push is diagonal, not directly sideways or forwards, due to the angled stance.
+- Transitions in and out of hip pushes should be smooth, with steps back to neutral before continuing.
+- Body openness should be comfortable and not forced to avoid strain on joints.
+- Practice both pushing on count two and pushing on count one for variation and ease of entry.

+
+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson teaches an exit from the side-by-side position in Jooking Blues, adding a turn away from each other while maintaining hip pushes, with a focus on musical timing and reconnection.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Leaders turn their body more and let go to signal the exit, without pushing the follower away.
+- Followers maintain the rotation from the leader's momentum until spotting them again.
+- Exit on the 8th count to be musical and conclude the movement, then reconnect on the 1st count.
+- Add arms in the air or upper body rhythms for expression while turning in a circle.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- The exit builds on the side-by-side hip push variation, adding a turn for separation and reconnection.
+- Visual following helps in reconnecting at the end, using body cues to gather energy and step together.
+- Timing is key: push hips on counts, turn away, and use the 8th and 1st counts for exit and reconnection.
+- Practice in a circle to enhance flow and incorporate personal style with added movements.

+
+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson focuses on adding hip push styling into turns for both leaders and followers in Jooking Blues, aiming to integrate hip movement smoothly while turning without altering the basic step pattern.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Keep your feet underneath the body at all times to maintain balance during turns.
+- Swing the hip back into neutral under the body before taking a step to facilitate turning.
+- Practice basics on the spot with small steps before adding the hip push to build comfort.
+- Add the hip push on the two count when ready to incorporate it into the turn.
+- Leaders should maintain the hand closer to the body when leading a turn for themselves to avoid confusing the partner.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- Turning with hip push should be as easy as turning with a basic step with proper practice.
+- Do not rush the movement; take it easy to enjoy the hip swing, especially in slow music.
+- Followers can add hip styling on top of their turn while maintaining the same timing.
+- Leaders can choose to join in with the hip push when inspired by the follower's variation.
+- Both leaders and followers can be inspired by each other's hip push to add it to their basics.

+- Use body turns and arm guidance to communicate direction without counterbalance.
+- Maintain an imaginary connection between chests to keep facing your partner.
+- Add hip pushes in opposition for styling and lower body movement.
+- Allow free arms to relax and swing for enhanced body expression.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- Opposition should feel the same as the basic step for followers, with no disruption to momentum.
+- Keep feet under the body and maintain posture to ensure balance and rhythm.
+- Leaders guide by stopping themselves, not by forcing movement, to maintain flow.
+- Styling choices like hand swaps or arm movements are optional and don't affect leading.
+- Focus on dancing with the whole body, not just legs and hips, for a more expressive style.

+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson focuses on teaching the shimmy, a controlled rhythmic movement originating from the rib cage, and how to layer it onto basic steps and walks for musical expression.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Imagine a stick down the middle of your body and rotate your rib cage around it.
+- Keep shoulders level and soften the knees for better control.
+- Start by hitting every beat with the shimmy, then speed up gradually.
+- Practice adding the shimmy on top of a basic step or walk.
+- Use the shimmy to hit rhythms in the music, such as triplets or syncopated beats.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- The shimmy should come from the ribs, not the shoulders, for a more internal and controlled movement.
+- It can be used rhythmically to match music, not just as a random shake.
+- Layer the shimmy on top of other steps or use it when legs are stationary for musical expression.
+- The shimmy is versatile and can be adapted to different tempos and rhythms in dance.

+
+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson teaches the side-by-side variation of changing directions in dance, starting from a closed position and focusing on body turns and shuffling to change direction smoothly.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Leaders should turn their body slightly and face the partner to signal direction changes without pushing with the arm.
+- Maintain a nice and close position with the hand on the opposite side of the follower to avoid being too far apart.
+- When opening into side-by-side, form a nice open V position and keep weight slightly forwards to facilitate easier traveling.
+- Practice with a two-count basic step underneath the body while rotating to change directions.
+- To reconnect into closed position, turn again but not completely and place the hand on the follower's left side.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- Changing direction involves turning on the spot or traveling, with options to combine both for variation.
+- Leaders should use body movement rather than arm pressure to signal turns, releasing the follower to indicate direction changes.
+- Maintain forward weight to prevent rock steps and make traveling forwards and backwards smoother.
+- The side-by-side variation can be done in place or with traveling, allowing for improvisation and multiple repetitions as desired.

+- Maintain connection to the floor throughout the movement to avoid jumping and ensure control over timing.
+- Followers should match the leader's sinking motion to synchronize the triple step effectively.
+- Use the imagery of a wave or an unidentifiable creature to guide the body's motion and posture during the step.

+- Use a deflate button on the chest to release tension if needed.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- Dance your own height and maintain posture regardless of your partner's size.
+- Connection points vary with size differences, so adapt naturally without forcing contact.
+- Avoid connecting heads to prevent discomfort and maintain good posture.
+- Ensure arms are light and relaxed, with weight staying in your own body.

+
+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson introduces contra-body movement in close embrace blues dancing, focusing on using natural body opposition to create smooth, comfortable motion.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Initiate the swing from the center of the body, not from the shoulders or arms.
+- Tap forward and back on a straight line while swinging the opposite side of the body.
+- Practice without hand connection to avoid relying on arm movement instead of body swing.
+- Keep the swing continuous every beat, whether tapping or stepping.
+- Play with the size of the swing, from small to exaggerated.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- Contra-body movement is an exaggerated version of natural walking opposition.
+- Maintain a relationship between the ribcage and hips, with them getting closer during twists.
+- Focus on internal, controlled movement from the core rather than extremities.
+- The swing should be light and smooth, not jerky or forced.

+
+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson focuses on improving close embrace connection in dance by practicing without using arms, using a bubble visualization to enhance body connection and maintain contact with a partner.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Imagine being in a bubble from feet to heels and practice shifting weight slightly forward and back within it.
+- Use a piece of paper or money between bodies to find and maintain the best point of connection without dropping it.
+- When traveling backwards, keep your body in the front of your bubble to stay connected.
+- Maintain your center connected to your partner, not just the upper body, to avoid disconnection.
+- Think of the connection as two soft pillars together, requiring trust and relaxation.
+- Dance a whole song without arms and without dropping the paper, restarting if it falls.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- Focus on inner body connection rather than relying on arm holds for close embrace.
+- The bubble visualization helps control weight shifts to maintain partner contact.
+- Height differences may affect the best connection point, such as belly or chest.
+- Trust and softness are essential for effective connection in dance.
+- Extra leg contact provides additional information and should be embraced.
+- Maintain intention and center connection even during backward movements.

+
+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson teaches clockwise rotation in close embrace, focusing on turning efficiently around the leader's right leg as the axis while maintaining posture and connection.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Chase your tail by looking over the right shoulder to practice turning on the spot.
+- Maintain an upright posture with feet close together to turn around one axis.
+- Keep a steady pulse throughout the rotation for rhythm and flow.
+- Film yourself to check if feet are traveling too much during the turn.
+- Initiate the exit with a swooping leg motion on count eight, adding energy for a fancy exit.
+- Relax the legs like puppets to allow smooth transmission of movement from the leader.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- The leader's right leg serves as the axis for the clockwise rotation to ensure efficiency.
+- Close proximity and upright posture prevent turning around multiple axes and aid connection.
+- Rotational energy from the turn should continue into the exit for a natural contra body motion.
+- Followers must stay relaxed to feel and respond to the leader's initiation without tension.
+- Exits can be varied in timing, such as extending the swooping move over multiple counts for musicality.
+- Practice with filming helps align visual feedback with physical sensation for improvement.

+</div>
+
+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson focuses on the anti-clockwise rotation in close embrace, highlighting its differences from clockwise rotation and the goal of executing it with proper technique and connection.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- On the fourth step, use an exaggerated contra body step to generate momentum for the turn.
+- Maintain a strong frame and upright posture to counteract the force that wants to open the embrace.
+- Look over your shoulder on the fourth step to add body shape and signal direction to your partner.
+- Keep feet under your body and legs close together for stability during the rotation.
+- Exit backwards with the left foot if you feel dizzy to safely end the movement.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- Anti-clockwise rotation tends to cause more travel due to the connection point being in a less optimal position.
+- The force of the turn may push partners apart, requiring extra effort to stay connected.
+- The axis for rotation is centered, but feet remain open, affecting the movement's dynamics.
+- This rotation is trickier than clockwise because it challenges the connection and requires more presence in the frame.

+## FOCUS 
+- This lesson introduces the contra-body movement, focusing on adding a relaxed swing in the upper body with opposition while walking to use the whole body.
+## TIP & TRICKS:
+- Swing the upper body from side to side with a pulse to avoid flat movement.
+- Keep the movement internal and controlled, with minimal hip movement and a slight twist in the center.
+- Ensure arms move only as connected to the spine, not independently.
+- When tapping a foot forward or back, align the opposite side of the body in opposition.
+- Keep legs on a straight line to prevent opening up too much, especially when tapping back.
+- Imagine having no muscles to maintain a soft, relaxed swing without tension.
+
+##REMEMBER
+- Contra-body movement involves opposition between upper and lower body for a flowing swing.
+- Movement should originate from the center, with arms naturally following the spine.
+- Maintain relaxation and avoid engaging muscles to keep the action soft and fluid.
+- Focus on the skeleton's swing to prevent tension and enhance body connection.
