## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on practicing group two rhythms through a grooving exercise, with the goal of allowing dancers to mix and match rhythms while maintaining connection and axis.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with the basic step, transferring weight every two counts.
- Keep arms relaxed and avoid pulling or pushing.
- Followers can add slow-quick-quick or triple step rhythms.
- Use halftime steps to smooth out movements when the music inspires it.
- Test connection by returning to closed position to check axis alignment.

##REMEMBER
- Maintain a standard speed while dancing around with any shapes or moves.
- Leaders and followers can dance to different rhythms simultaneously for a percussive effect.
- Mix and match rhythms from group two to enhance musicality.
- Axis should remain in the same place to ensure stability and connection.
- The exercise builds from basic steps to more complex rhythm combinations.
