## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on maintaining a consistent pulse with the music while moving, emphasizing full weight shifts and grounding to avoid rushing and stay in time.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Express the full beat by completing weight shifts on the end of sounds like 'boom' to stay grounded.
- Scat or create sounds to match the music's instruments for better rhythm connection.
- Practice moving with and without music to feel the difference in pulse and timing.
- Keep hands open and relaxed to facilitate chest movement and maintain pulse during fast steps.
- Breathe and release tension in the body when moving faster to avoid rushing.

##REMEMBER
- Pulse is the continual beat in music that doesn't change; connect to it to stay with the music.
- Full weight shifts on the beat help prevent feeling lost and improve movement completion.
- Even with fast music, maintain a baseline rhythm in the body to stay in time.
- Use sound creation, like scatting, to internalize the music's rhythm when no music is playing.
- Incorporate pulse into multiple body parts, such as the chest or hands, to keep it consistent during complex movements.
