## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches the James Brown move, focusing on applying triplet rhythms with footwork and proper alignment.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with weight fully on one leg and step out and in with the other leg.
- Initiate the movement from the glutes to maintain alignment from hip to foot.
- Keep the non-weight-bearing leg out and dragging during the steps.
- Practice the move in different timings such as four, two, or one counts.
- On the last beat, gather the other leg in to prepare for the next step.

##REMEMBER
- Maintain full alignment from the hip joint to the knee and foot throughout the move.
- Focus the movement starting from the glutes, with the rest of the body following minimally.
- The move can be adapted to various counts to match music tempo and personal preference.
- Use this technique to enhance rhythm and fluidity in dance, especially in fast-paced music.
