Hammerlock-to-Dip Combination

An advanced linked sequence: lead a hammerlock, transition through a sensual collect into a Dip-Prep entry, take a supported dip, and recover to close. It's two of the hardest things in the dance — a wrap and a dip — joined by a smooth sensual bridge, danced as one continuous phrase.

• Lead: Plan the whole arc before you start — the hammerlock has to resolve into a position from which you can set a real base for the dip. Never reach the dip without your feet planted and her weight already shared. Lead the recover deliberately.
• Follow: Stay in control of your core through every stage; the hammerlock and the dip both need you stacked and able to abort. Give dip weight only within your comfort.
• Timing: Hammerlock across the first 8, sensual transition and dip across the second, recover up — all slow and supported.
• Common mistake: Arriving at the dip without a base because the hammerlock left you off-balance. If the bridge isn't clean, don't dip. Known, willing, injury-free partner only.

The most advanced linked sequence in the library — it assumes the Hammerlock (B022), Dip Prep (B092), and Cambré Combination (B098) are all solid. Inherits the full dip safety contract: gated, supported, consensual, abort-able, never fast. The showpiece — and the one that most demands the partnership has earned it.
