## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on integrating the triple rhythm into partner dancing, specifically transitioning between a basic step and the triple rhythm to enhance rhythm and drive.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders should ensure clear weight transfer during the triple rhythm.
- Cut the first step shorter in the triple rhythm compared to the basic step.
- Followers can feel the triple rhythm through the leader's body movement and weight shifts.
- Practice the triple rhythm independently and with a partner to mix with other steps.
- Maintain a relaxed frame as a leader to avoid imposing the rhythm on the partner.

##REMEMBER
- The triple rhythm has more drive due to earlier weight shifts in the step.
- Followers can use the triple rhythm as an individual variation without disrupting the partnership.
- Clear body movement communicates the rhythm effectively to the partner.
- The lesson emphasizes mixing triple rhythm with basic and single time steps for versatility.
