## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches the 'quick, quick, slow' triple rhythm footwork, focusing on representing it in music without traveling, unlike the 'slow, quick, quick' rhythm.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with weight on the right and step on the 1, then add a ball change pattern.
- Practice alternating between basic steps and the quick quick slow rhythm to build fluency.
- For faster music, relax into the ground with emphasis down on the beat to maintain ease.
- Avoid traveling by keeping the one and two on the same spot, unlike in lindy hop.
- Use this rhythm for medium up-tempo blues where it feels more natural in the body.

##REMEMBER
- The quick quick slow rhythm involves three actions in two counts, staying on the spot to avoid swing.
- This rhythm is similar to lindy hop but adapted for non-traveling movement in this context.
- It works best with faster music; slower tempos might make it feel less natural and more challenging.
- Emphasis can vary: prepare and step for basic alignment or down on the beat for faster tempos.
