8 Funky Butt on one side

COURSE: late-night-blues

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on practicing the 'Funky Butt' swing while keeping weight on one side, with the goal of mastering this movement individually and then applying it in partnered dancing.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Swing the free hip back while keeping weight on one side.
• Add a little rotation into the hip for a nicer feel.
• Leaders should clearly keep weight on one side in their own body to signal the partner.
• Stay on the spot or move a little with no rush.
• Keep movements small and subtle to enjoy the feeling.

REMEMBER:

• Weight stays on the same side throughout the swing.
• Let the connection be dynamic and change based on comfort.
• Partners can initiate the weight shift, but it's optional.
• The swing is similar to non-funky funky butts but with fixed weight.
• Enjoy the movement of hips through space without rushing.
