## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on mastering the Tresillo rhythm in Latin Blues, specifically feeling the 'two and a half' timing instead of a full three, with the goal of practicing solo steps and exploring variations like slow, quick, quick.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Emphasize the rhythm as 'one, two and a half, four, one' to feel the pull of the music.
- Take steps in any direction and incorporate turns or crossing feet for variety.
- Switch between Tresillo and slow, quick, quick rhythms to feel the timing differences in your body.
- Use arms while dancing to enhance movement and expression.
- Listen for the bass in the music to help maintain rhythm and timing.

##REMEMBER
- The 'two and a half' beat should feel slightly longer to create a distinct rhythm and flow.
- Breathing and relaxing the body are essential for smooth and enjoyable dancing.
- Different rhythms like Tresillo and slow, quick, quick inspire varied movements, such as more lag in the spine.
- Both rhythms are valid; choose based on personal feel and musical interpretation.
- Practice in different directions and with full body engagement to build versatility and confidence.
