The lean is the foundation step. We're walking through where the weight sits on the back leg, how the knee drop sets the rock, and the count that lets you transition into the next step without telegraphing it. Eight counts, broken into two-and-two.
Practice this at 60 percent tempo first. The lean isn't about speed — it's about not falling out of it.
