## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches how to express triple rhythm with footwork, focusing on a basic step of three steps per count, transitioning between single time and triplets.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Step to one side on the first beat and add two extra steps on the spot for the triplet.
- Adjust foot placement based on music speed: use the entire foot for slow music and the front part for faster music.
- Keep steps small when the music gets faster to maintain control and rhythm.
- Ensure the last step when transitioning from triplet to single time is clear and fully on the floor.
- Add a swing with your body to enhance the movement and rhythm expression.

##REMEMBER
- Triplets involve three steps per count, with the first step to the side and the next two on the spot.
- Foot placement can vary with music tempo, affecting balance and timing.
- Clear transitions between single time and triplets are crucial for smooth rhythm changes.
- Practice transitioning every eight counts to build consistency and improvisation skills.
- Body movement, such as swinging, helps in expressing the rhythm more dynamically.
