## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on solo cross steps in Chicago triple, teaching how to cross the foot forward and behind on the beat while maintaining rhythm and body shape.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Cross the foot forward on the one beat while keeping the triple rhythm and body shape.
- Use the swing of the hips and body shape for smooth transitions back to the basic step.
- Cross behind on the one beat, focusing on body shape and stretching on the two.
- Practice crossing in front or behind with four basics each, starting slow and then speeding up.
- Travel around the room while crossing, playing with timing without losing aesthetic.

##REMEMBER
- Maintain the aesthetic and body shape of the Chicago triple throughout the cross steps.
- Keep the pulse and rhythm consistent to ensure smooth movements and transitions.
- Use hip swing and body lean to enhance transitions between cross steps and basics.
- Avoid rushing; practice slowly to build control before increasing speed.
