## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on combining the Habanera rhythm with previously learned sequences, using an example with a turn and music to demonstrate integration.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Practice each sequence with the slow, quick, quick footwork before combining.
- Ensure the Habanera rhythm feels comfortable in your feet for easier combination.
- Start with the Habanera on the spot before moving into other sequences.
- Try the movements along with the music as demonstrated.

##REMEMBER
- Master individual sequences and the Habanera rhythm separately to make combining them super easy.
- Trust in your practice of both elements to facilitate smooth integration.
- Use the provided example with a turn as a guide for applying rhythm to sequences.
