## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on warming up and recapping the Chicago Triple rhythm from a previous course, preparing dancers for improvisation and new techniques.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Roll shoulders and take deep breaths to relax and ground energy.
- Step with a triple rhythm, avoiding being too straight by leaving the hip behind.
- Mix and match triple and single steps freely during practice.
- Dance in closed or open embrace with a partner to improvise.
- Move around and cross steps as needed to maintain flow.

##REMEMBER
- Recall techniques from the previous course to reinforce learning before advancing.
- Focus on the pulse and shape of movements to enhance rhythm and style.
- Improvise by playing with known steps and partner interactions.
- Use the warm-up to send energy into the ground for better stability.
