## FOCUS 
- This lesson introduces the quick-quick-slow rhythm in Latin Blues, contrasting it with the previously learned slow-quick-quick rhythm and explaining how it relates to musical groove.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Step on beats one, two, and three for quick-quick-slow.
- In quick-quick-slow, the quick steps take you out and the slow step brings you back under the body.
- Practice in closed position with a partner by stepping in different directions.
- Use counts like 'seven and one' to time the rhythm.

##REMEMBER
- Quick-quick-slow is not connected to the habanera rhythm like slow-quick-quick is.
- The rhythm choice depends on the groove created by different instruments in the music.
- The same body movement can be placed differently on the music to create distinct rhythms.
- The slow step changes direction, while quick steps are centered under the body.
