8 Sandra Gibson's Hip Undulations

COURSE: the-spirit-moves-solo-styling

FOCUS: This lesson teaches Sandra Gibson's hip undulations, focusing on tilting the pelvis in different directions to create smooth, controlled movements without swinging through space.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Imagine your pelvis as a bowl of water and tip it side to side.
• Place hands on hip bones to feel them moving up and down.
• Combine directions to make circles with the hips, starting side, back, side, front.
• Try the movement in different leg positions, such as wider or closer stances.
• Shift weight between legs while maintaining hip circles.
• Keep the hip circles smooth and continuous throughout practice.

REMEMBER:

• The movement is a tilt, not a swing, and should be small and controlled.
• One direction may feel better than the other, which is fine to focus on.
• Practice in various positions to adapt the undulations to different contexts.
• Add attitude and playfulness to enhance the movement.
• Combine all directions for a complete hip circle effect.
• Use music to make the practice easier and more engaging.
