## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches the hip push solo in Jooking Blues, focusing on swinging the hips with proper weight distribution and technique.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with weight on one leg to free the other for swinging.
- Keep both feet flat on the floor to avoid lifting the heel.
- Bend the knees to help keep the heel down and movements smooth.
- Maintain a long space between the hips and ribs to prevent injury.
- Add the hip push on counts one or two during the basic step.
- Practice pushing the hip up and down for variation while staying low.

##REMEMBER
- Relax and use a 'deflate button' on the hip to reduce tension.
- Swing the hip out to the side, not upward, to avoid crunching.
- Adjust timing based on the music and personal comfort.
- Keep movements small and controlled for better technique.
- Use this solo as a tool to be musical in dance.
