## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches the Hip Wiggle (Baby Wiggle) move, focusing on isolating hip movement forward and back while maintaining body stability.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Move hips forward and back without moving the entire body
- Bend one knee forward while keeping the other leg straight
- Transfer weight slowly from one side to the other
- Stay on the same level and relax your legs
- Practice on the spot before incorporating into dance

##REMEMBER
- Imagine being a happy baby wiggling to connect with the movement's playful essence
- Avoid collapsing or losing posture while executing the wiggle
- This move provides another way to dance to triplets in swing dancing
- Start slowly as an adult version of the childhood wiggle
- Maintain cool confidence while performing the hip isolation
