## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on combining in-and-out movements with tempo changes between slows and quicks in the Texas Shuffle, building on previous skills.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start in an embrace and begin with quicks on every beat.
- Switch to slows by using a 'bop' rhythm for a slower tempo.
- Practice coming in and going out while maintaining the tempo changes.
- Follow along with the instructor's movements to synchronize the steps.

##REMEMBER
- Tempo changes involve switching between slows (one, two) and quicks (every beat).
- In-and-out movements are integrated with the tempo to enhance flow.
- Leverage and open position concepts from earlier lessons support these combinations.
