## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches how to represent shuffle beats with steps, focusing on a simple tap-step pattern on each beat.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Tap without putting weight on the leg, using only part of the foot.
- Think of the tap as being on the way to stepping.
- Commit your weight fully on each step.
- Add texture by changing body shapes or energy based on the music.
- Travel with the steps or vary the movement to suit the rhythm.

##REMEMBER
- The shuffle rhythm can be represented by adding a tap on beats 1, 2, 3, and 4.
- Keep the pattern simple or adapt it to the music's energy and style.
- You can switch between shuffle and single-time stepping as desired.
- Improvise and adjust the footwork to match the ongoing shuffle rhythm in songs.
