## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on performing knee rocks by dropping one hip inward while keeping the leg aligned, inspired by Elvis's style, with the goal of mastering hip-initiated movement and rhythm variations.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with feet slightly wider than hip width and soften the knees.
- Drop one hip inward toward the body's center line while keeping the leg aligned.
- Allow the opposite hip to twist back naturally as you drop the other hip.
- Initiate the movement from the hips to ensure internal rotation.
- Practice alternating sides by dropping one hip and returning to neutral before switching.
- Play with rhythms like every beat, every two beats, or quick-quick-slow patterns.

##REMEMBER
- The movement is initiated from the hips, not just the legs.
- It's anatomically natural for the opposite hip to twist slightly when one hip drops.
- Keep the leg, knee, and foot aligned as the hip turns inward.
- Rhythm can be varied based on the music to enhance the dance style.
- The move is simple but allows for creative rhythm play to match different tempos.
