## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on adding a triple rhythm to the fishtail dance step, contrasting it with previous rhythms to highlight differences in timing and footwork.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Practice the triple rhythm without the fishtail first to master the foot timing: one and two, three and four.
- Keep feet under the hips, not outside the body, for easier integration with the fishtail.
- Use the ball of the foot for the 'and' step, avoiding a full backward weight shift.
- Change the angle of the leg before stepping backwards to facilitate turns in the fishtail.
- Start with the weight on the right foot when practicing the rhythm.

##REMEMBER
- The triple rhythm differs from previous classes in the placement of long notes and 'and' steps, affecting the feel under the fishtail.
- Maintain proper foot alignment and angles to ensure smooth transitions and turns.
- Integrate the rhythm gradually, mixing it with basic and slow-quick-quick fishtail variations for comparison.
