## FOCUS 
- This lesson recaps key dance variables like size, rhythm, levels, texture, facing, and embellishment, with the goal of practicing them together in a full song while riffing with a partner.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Focus on one variable at a time or combine a few naturally during practice.
- Watch your partner to be inspired and respond to their movements in the conversation.
- Let musical elements like beats or instruments guide your movement choices and tempo changes.
- Use embellishments to decorate moves, either within the move or as an additional layer.
- Experiment with different facings and directions while traveling around the room.
- Adjust your focus and posture to appear taller or lower than you actually are.

##REMEMBER
- Riffing is a conversation with your partner, where listening and responding are key to improvisation.
- All movement decisions should be inspired by what you hear in the music, using it as a catalyst.
- Trust yourself to improvise in the moment without overthinking the variables.
- Practice regularly using resources like playlists to improve and have fun while dancing.
- Combine variables like slowing down, getting bigger, and adding arms naturally as they arise.
- Use texture concepts like moving through air or water to add resistance and variety to your moves.
