## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on leading the triplet variation from the Chicago triple in partnered dance, emphasising compression and dynamic movement.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Use compression on the first step by stepping straight forwards towards your partner.
- Keep steps small and under your body, especially in faster music.
- Rotate the body slightly to enhance the feeling of compression.
- Followers should maintain a slight delay in movement when led into faster steps.
- Practice transitions between Chicago triple and triplet variations.

##REMEMBER
- Compression should come from body energy moving forwards, not from tensing arms.
- The angle of the first step is crucial for dynamic compression.
- Faster music requires smaller steps to maintain control and connection.
