## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on practicing the Chicago Triple Basic Step with a partner, emphasizing adjustments in posture and connection for comfort and movement freedom.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start in a close embrace with an upright posture, but adjust to create space in the center area for the Chicago triple shape.
- Ensure the connection is comfortable, especially in the chest area, and avoid tight wrapping of arms to allow spine movement.
- For taller partners, avoid leaning forward too much and keep the right arm relaxed, even on the partner's left side.
- Maintain a long and comfortable neck position to enhance posture and connection.
- Optionally, dance in a closed position with more space if close embrace is uncomfortable, allowing flexibility in hand placement.

##REMEMBER
- Comfort is key in partner connection; adjust posture and embrace to find a comfortable fit before dancing.
- Both leaders and followers should keep arms super relaxed to enable free movement and maintain the Chicago triple shape.
- Connection can vary based on height or body shape differences; be adaptable and prioritize mutual comfort.
- You can transition between close embrace and closed position during the dance, syncing movements with your partner and the music.
