## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches using a triple step to transition from closed position to side-by-side, focusing on fluid movement and control as a foundational move for future classes.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with weight on the right for followers and left for leaders to avoid confusion.
- Perform the three steps in two counts with a rhythm like 'one and two' for a faster pace.
- Think of the move as a wave, sinking into the floor on the first step and rolling through on the second.
- Keep one foot on the ground at all times to avoid jumping and maintain connection to the floor.
- Leaders move their right hand from the follower's left to right side, while followers slide their arm accordingly.
- In close embrace, arms may not need to move if already in the correct position.

##REMEMBER
- This triple step is a base move that will be used in upcoming classes, so mastering it is essential.
- Focus on fluidity and avoiding jerky motions to make the transition smooth and beautiful.
- Control the move by rolling the foot into the ground, which helps maintain connection and adapt to different music tempos.
- Relax shoulders and adjust arm positions comfortably based on height differences for better connection.
- Practice with slow music to stretch the move and emphasize the wave-like, rounded motion.
- Ensure feet never disconnect from the ground to prevent jumping and enhance stability.
