## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on mixing triple rhythm with single time rotation in Chicago Triple, teaching how to transition between rhythms while maintaining rotation and dynamics.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with triple rhythm on the spot and transition to single time stepping every beat.
- Use body shape and connection to communicate the change to the follow.
- Ground yourself more if losing balance to maintain stability.
- Maintain pulse and rotational momentum throughout the rotation.
- Add more rotation for a dynamic feel by stepping every beat with increased energy.

##REMEMBER
- The main change is stepping every beat instead of triple steps, while keeping other elements like body shape and rotation the same.
- Maintain pulse to avoid becoming flat, especially when rotating faster to a strong beat.
- Use connection to create counterbalance between centers in turns for stability and enjoyment.
- Practice transitioning between rhythms to build control and fluidity in the dance.
