## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches transitions between shuffle and triple rhythms, focusing on maintaining weight on either the right or left foot and stepping on the beat.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Always step on the beat: one, two, three, and four.
- Start transitions by stepping straight onto the opposite foot when switching rhythms.
- Use a tap step or step directly on the one to transition from triplets to shuffle.
- Alternate rhythms every eight or four counts based on preference.
- Practice with music, adding variations like single time, half time, and quarter time.

##REMEMBER
- Weight is always on either the right or left foot during these rhythms.
- Transitions involve stepping on the beat with something happening in between.
- You can choose when to change rhythms, such as every eight or four counts.
- These rhythms are foundational and easy to build upon with other timing variations.
