## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on performing hip rolls, starting with internal hip movements and progressing to continuous, flowing circles that can be done in place or while traveling forward.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Drop the hip in and imagine drawing a big circle on the floor with a pencil pointing down from your hip.
- Transfer your weight onto the leg as you complete the circle to smoothly transition to the next roll.
- Tap the leg slightly in front of you when dropping the hip to travel forwards while circling.
- Keep the leg relaxed and let the movement initiate from the hip joint, not the knee.
- Adjust the speed and size of the circle to vary the move, from small and fast to big and slow.
- Practice the rolls in place, traveling, and with different circle sizes to build versatility.

##REMEMBER
- The action should come from the hip joint to maintain proper alignment and fluidity.
- Each step should flow into the next without stopping for a continuous, graceful movement.
- The size of the circle determines the style, similar to the difference between a tilt and a swing.
- Weight transfer is key to linking hip rolls seamlessly from one leg to the other.
- Relaxation in the leg and hip helps achieve a natural, beautiful roll without stiffness.
- This solo move allows for personal expression through variations in speed and circle size.
