## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches the heel drop technique, focusing on creating sharp rhythms and different foot textures by dropping the heel quickly after the ball of the foot connects to the floor.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with the ball of the foot connecting to the floor first.
- Drop the heel in one go instead of gradually lowering it.
- Practice the rhythm as ball, heel with a sharp, tap-like quality.
- Add heel drops to relaxed walking and slow rolling with resistance.
- Move heel drops around the room in any direction to explore variations.

##REMEMBER
- The heel drop gives a different energy and rhythm to foot movements.
- The rhythm can be adjusted based on the song and personal style.
- Experiment with different textures by combining heel drops with other foot techniques.
- Notice the feeling differences between heel drops, walking, and rolling.
