## FOCUS 
- This lesson is a full recap of the Chicago Triple Vol II course, focusing on solo and partnered practice of cross steps, shuffle variations, and triplet rhythms.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with a deep breath and shake out to relax and get into the groove.
- Practice cross steps behind and in front, returning to the basic step.
- Incorporate shuffle variations like tap step, out and in shuffle, and low downs.
- Use triplet rhythms and variations such as step tap and triplet steps.
- When partnered, lead, follow, or dance independently without requiring the partner to match.
- Experiment with throwing moves in partnered practice for fun and improvisation.

##REMEMBER
- Recap all learned moves including cross steps, four shuffle variations, and triplet rhythm.
- Practice solo with music before transitioning to partnered dancing.
- Partnered dancing allows for flexibility in leading, following, or independent movement.
- Focus on musicality and improvisation during the recap to enhance dance skills.
- Maintain a relaxed and groovy body posture throughout the practice.
- Use the recap to reinforce techniques and build confidence for future improvisation.
