## FOCUS 
- This lesson explains the anatomy of the hip joint, covering its bones, ligaments, and muscles to understand movement in dance.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Identify the greater and lesser trochanters on the femur for better movement awareness.
- Locate the acetabulum where the femur head articulates to visualize joint motion.
- Recognize the ilium, pubis, and ischium as key pelvic regions for stability.
- Use the ligament of the head of the femur as a reference point for joint structure.

##REMEMBER
- The hip joint is a synovial ball-and-socket joint allowing multiple movement directions.
- Articular cartilage and synovial fluid reduce friction and prevent osteoarthritis.
- The pelvis consists of three parts: ilium, pubis, and ischium, crucial for ligament attachment.
- Ligaments like the ligament of the head of the femur provide stability during movement.
