## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on improvising with the son clave rhythm using different body parts, with the goal of creating variations and combinations through mix-and-match exercises.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Use feet, hips, or shoulders to play the clave rhythm.
- For mix-and-match, assign different body parts to the first three and last two beats of the clave.
- Start with simple body part calls before moving to creative combinations.
- Experiment with shoulders moving down or forward and backwards.
- Improvise freely when the instructor calls mix-and-match.
- Follow along as the instructor calls out body parts like feet, hips, and shoulders.

##REMEMBER
- The clave rhythm can be expressed with various body parts beyond just the feet.
- Mix-and-match allows for creative improvisation by combining different body parts within the rhythm.
- Focus on the rhythm structure while adapting movements to different body parts.
- Use the exercise to develop personal variations and enhance dance expression.
- Practice helps in internalizing the rhythm for more fluid and spontaneous dancing.
- Ignore background music lyrics and concentrate on the instructor's spoken instructions.
