Let's work on an unweighted hip sensual dance move; this is going to be vertical circle
that's going to travel forward. Let's start with our feet being slightly apart; put your
weight on one of your legs, lift the other foot; heel, press the toe into the floor and
make sure both knees are bent, pulling your belly; lift your chest and relax your shoulders.
Let's just put our hands out to the side; the circle is going to go forward so we're
going to first lift it into our rib cage, twist it slightly forward; let it drop down,
bring it back. And up and forward; and down and back, it's always a good idea to start
with a square and make sure you're hitting all the right points first and then we're
going to round it out so smooth out those corners. So this is a movement you'd want
to do that's to nice slow music or you really want to accent a pretty flute or something
like that. So make sure you keep everything lifted and smooth; make sure your knee does
not bend out too much, you want to keep it pointing forward and in; you don't want it
to be out here, you want to keep it all nice and keep your center all toward the middle
of your body; and just make that movement nice and smooth. Practice it in the mirror
and on both sides.
