## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on riffing by first selecting a body part and then changing the dance move while keeping the emphasis on that same body part, with the goal of inspiring creative variations within a shared focus.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start by focusing on a specific body part, such as the butt or foot, to guide your riffing.
- Change the move you do while maintaining emphasis on the chosen body part.
- Play with other elements like size, texture, and levels while keeping the body part consistent.
- Take inspiration from your partner's movements to switch to a new body part, like from shoulders to knees.
- Keep the game dynamic by quickly shifting between moves that highlight the same body part.

##REMEMBER
- The emphasis stays on the same body part throughout the riffing exchange.
- You can change the move freely as long as it focuses on the agreed-upon body part.
- Incorporate other dance elements like attitude and levels to enhance the variation.
- Use your partner's movements as inspiration to transition between different body parts.
- Practice by dancing along and verbalizing your thought process to improve improvisation.
