## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches two ways to partner the slow, quick, quick shuffle: leading and following it clearly, and using it as an individual variation while maintaining partnership.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- As a leader, think about a pendulum swing back on the first count to initiate the rhythm.
- Release your arms slightly to create space for hip movement without overstretching.
- Practice eight counts of step touch basic followed by eight counts of the shuffle to feel the difference.
- Maintain the same speed and direction as your partner even when adding individual footwork variations.
- Use the rhythm as an optional styling layer that doesn't disrupt the basic partnership.

##REMEMBER
- The slow, quick, quick shuffle can be led and followed or used as a personal variation without breaking the partnership.
- Keep arm movements natural and minimal to allow for hip swing and balance.
- Partners can choose different footwork while still following each other's speed and direction.
- This step fits directly on top of a two-count basic, making it versatile for integration.
