## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on mixing and matching three rhythms—slow, quick, quick; tresio; and habanera—in solo Latin Blues dance, with the goal of enabling dancers to fluidly combine them based on the music.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with slow, quick, quick as a base rhythm.
- Practice getting the syncopated accent in the slow, quick, quick pattern.
- Take steps any way you want while mixing rhythms.
- Listen to the music to guide when to switch between rhythms.
- Experiment with mixing rhythms around the room without cues.

##REMEMBER
- The habanera rhythm combines slow, quick, quick and tresio, allowing flexibility in choice.
- All three rhythms will fit if habanera is present in the song, ensuring you're always correct.
- Mix and match rhythms based on personal feel and musical interpretation.
- Focus on how the rhythms blend rather than following strict calls.
