## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on creating dynamic moments in dance by exploring tension release, specifically practicing controlled drops to interrupt constant body flow and then rebuilding movement.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Imagine something heavy pulling you down when releasing tension for a drop.
- Practice doubling the drop quickly: inhale, drop-drop, then return to flow.
- Start rebuilding flow directly from where the drop lands, such as using hip rotation.
- Slow down movements to create intimate, tiny motions after drops.
- Use side steps with snake effects as comfortable base movements for practicing drops.

##REMEMBER
- Dynamics involve interrupting constant body flow with intentional tension releases.
- The core maintains connection between upper and lower body during movement.
- Drops can occur in either upper or lower body by releasing energy from the core.
- Rebuild flow immediately from the drop point rather than returning to neutral first.
- Control the timing and speed of drops to vary dynamic expression.
