## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches Sandra Gibson's Hip Shimmy, also known as the baby wiggle, focusing on moving the pelvis forwards and backwards to create a hip shimmy.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Take feet underneath the hips in a comfortable position.
- Move the pelvis forwards and backwards, not up and down.
- As the right hip bone goes forward, feel the left one opening up backwards.
- Speed up the movement to create a butt shimmy.
- Use a wall to stabilize the upper body if needed.
- Activate core muscles to keep the upper body stable while hips move.

##REMEMBER
- The movement originates from the center of the body.
- Allow natural wobbling without moving the upper body too much.
- Arm positioning and styling are flexible and can be personalized.
- Focus on isolating hip movement for a controlled shimmy.
- Experiment with body shape and arms to find a comfortable style.
- Practice with a song to develop your own cool way of performing the move.
