## FOCUS 
- This lesson explains how triple rhythm fits into dance, comparing it to a previous shuffle rhythm and highlighting its different feel due to shifted subdivisions.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Focus on the shifted 'and' placement in the bar for triple rhythm.
- Notice that the one and three beats are shortened in this rhythm.
- Pay attention to the elongation of the two and four beats compared to the previous rhythm.
- Practice feeling the different body sensation when dancing to this rhythm.

##REMEMBER
- Triple rhythm is similar to shuffle rhythm but with subdivisions in different places.
- The feel of a rhythm changes based on which beats are shortened or elongated.
- Understanding beat variations helps adapt dancing to different musical feels.
