## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on mixing Tresillo and Habanera rhythms in partnered Latin Blues, with the goal of practicing rhythmic conversations while maintaining connection.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Scat the rhythm while dancing to internalize it.
- Start with the same rhythm as your partner, then try different ones.
- Practice in various positions, not just close hold.
- Use a song to guide your rhythmic experimentation.
- Switch between rhythms like slow, quick, quick and Habanera during the dance.

##REMEMBER
- Rhythms can be different between partners while staying connected.
- The footwork can vary without breaking partnership lead and follow.
- Rhythmic conversations enhance musicality and interaction.
- All rhythms are interconnected, allowing flexibility in execution.
- This builds on concepts from earlier courses in Latin Blues.
