## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches the 'out and in' shuffle variation for Chicago Triple, focusing on footwork, body movement, and musicality.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with any foot depending on your weight; it's not a rule.
- Take your center back slightly on the 'out' and return to neutral.
- Keep the outs small and under your body, not too wide.
- Finish with weight on the right for leaders and left for followers for easier transition to Chicago Triple.
- Add the shuffle without being too upright; get the body down and butt swinging.
- Practice traveling the shuffle slightly backwards or forwards to vary movement.

##REMEMBER
- The head stays relatively still; the body doesn't travel much, with hips swinging back.
- Maintain a connected, grounded body shape to enhance aesthetic and rhythm.
- You can vary the number of shuffles (e.g., two, four, eight) and change direction anytime.
- Focus on musicality by keeping movements small and in sync with the tempo.
