9 Triplets in your Hips%3A Solo

COURSE: Swinging Triplets

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on achieving a triplet rhythm in the hips during solo dance, starting with small tilts and progressing to weight transfers and forward travel.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Imagine your pelvis as a bowl of water and tilt it slightly side to side to create small movements.
• Accent the beat to stay connected to the music and avoid random wiggling.
• Keep the movement subtle and focused beneath the belly button, with the upper body relaxed.
• Film yourself to compare how the movement looks versus how it feels for better self-assessment.

REMEMBER:

• The movement should be small and subtle, not swinging, with an up-and-down feeling rather than side-to-side.
• Avoid involving the upper body; keep it relaxed as if holding a cup of tea.
• Relax the legs and avoid walking with bent knees to prevent a stiff or robotic appearance.
• Practice with music to help integrate the rhythm and make the movement feel more natural.
