## FOCUS 
- This lesson introduces footwork variations in Struttin, focusing on the toe tap variation to maintain independent footwork and a consistent pulse while dancing.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Keep the toe tap relaxed to avoid hurting your toes.
- Maintain the jogging pulse throughout the toe tap for a consistent appearance.
- Try traveling sideways while toe tapping to challenge yourself.
- Add toe taps with a partner without needing to synchronize timing.
- Stay relaxed during toe taps to prevent tensing up.

##REMEMBER
- Footwork in Struttin is independent; partners do not have to be on the same side.
- The goal is to keep the pulse and connection unchanged so the partner doesn't feel the variation.
- Toe taps should feel smooth and not interrupt the flow of the dance.
- Variations like toe taps can be done while traveling to maintain movement consistency.
