9 Hip Swing

COURSE: late-night-blues

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on adding a subtle sideways hip swing to dance steps, aiming for a relaxed and soft movement that enhances body connection and styling.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Place your weight on one leg and swing the hip sideways in a small, relaxed motion.
• Imagine moving through air with resistance, like it's full of honey, to guide the hip swing.
• Swing the hip on the two count when shifting weight every two counts in steps.
• Practice the hip swing individually as a styling option, even without a partner.
• Keep the movement lazy and soft, avoiding extra muscular energy.

REMEMBER:

• The hip swing is similar to the hip push from previous courses but softer and more subtle.
• Focus on how the movement feels and connects within the body for a natural flow.
• You can add or remove the hip swing at any time to vary your dance styling.
• Maintain a relaxed, late-night vibe to keep the movement effortless and enjoyable.
