## FOCUS 
- This lesson introduces the Jookin' Moves course, focusing on solo body movements and rhythms from the Duke joints of the Mississippi Delta, with a goal to teach and apply these movements in partnership.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Focus on body movements rather than traveling steps.
- Emphasise solo body movements and shaping body rhythms.
- Practice movements in both solo and partnership contexts.

##REMEMBER
- Jookin' blues originated in small Duke joints with limited space.
- The style prioritises body rhythms over big turns and traveling steps.
- Movements can be adapted from solo to partnership dancing.
