## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches followers to add triplet rhythms in their footwork while maintaining connection with leaders, who step only on the beat to practice control and rhythm variation.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders should step every beat and avoid doing triplets themselves.
- Followers can add triplets in footwork wherever desired during moves.
- Focus on the center of the body moving as led, not letting feet lead.
- Practice with a slow song to have ample time for experimentation.

##REMEMBER
- Maintain the same weight shift as if stepping every beat to keep connection consistent.
- The center should follow the leader's lead, with feet adding rhythm as an extra layer.
- Avoid letting footwork disrupt the lead or cause big, distracting steps.
