## FOCUS 
- This lesson introduces a figure eight hip movement for slow drag and discusses how to explore and innovate with styling independently.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Push to the left and make a forward movement with the left hip.
- Circle the hip around before pushing forward.
- Incorporate rotation before each push for the figure eight movement.
- Practice this movement to the left for best results in partnership.
- Use music to enhance the timing and flow of the hip movement.

##REMEMBER
- The outer hip on the open side may be easier to move than the right side.
- Different relationships and sizes with your partner can affect the movement.
- Expect variations in turn amount between sides during practice.
- Focus on creating smooth rotations to improve the figure eight pattern.
- Explore and adapt the movement to innovate your own styling in slow drag.
