## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches options for dancing to Rumba Blues, focusing on a step pattern with two taps to create smooth transitions and direction changes.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Use the second tap to change direction as you transition to the next step.
- Employ body shape to achieve a swinging feeling and aid in transitions.
- Relax your spine and hips to allow for a natural sway or swing during the steps.
- Practice traveling with the steps, including crossing and turning, without rushing the rhythm.

##REMEMBER
- Maintain a smooth transition from one side to the other using body movement.
- Focus on rhythm control to avoid rushing, especially as music speeds up.
- Incorporate breathing and relaxation to enhance the dance's fluidity and ease.
