## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on mastering the Snake Hips movement by shifting weight slowly from side to side, emphasizing a snaky motion in the hips through controlled footwork and connection to the ground.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Shift weight left to right slowly, feeling the push from the floor into the hips.
- Roll feet from toes to heel as you transfer weight to maintain a smooth motion.
- Relax and soften the knee when weight comes onto the foot to enhance fluidity.
- Practice drawing circles with your feet while keeping the snake effect in the hips.
- Take your time and slow down if weight transfer feels strange to better feel the movement.
- Bring the movement to a smaller dimension while still feeling the weight transfer and snake motion.

##REMEMBER
- This dance is for personal intimacy, not performance, so focus on self-connection.
- Movement originates from the ground, traveling through feet, knees, thighs, and into the hips.
- Collect heaviness to the ground before redirecting to the next side for better control.
- Maintain a slow, relaxed pace to fully experience the weight shifts and breath.
- You can transfer weight without taking steps, staying with the feeling from the ground.
- The snaky motion involves bringing every tiny part of the body to the next foot with no rush.
