## FOCUS 
- This lesson teaches the hip tilt move in late-night blues, focusing on tilting the pelvis with split weight to create a relaxed, cheeky wiggle.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Imagine your center as a bucket of water, spilling it from side to side to feel the hip tilt.
- Bend your knees slightly and keep legs relaxed while tilting the pelvis.
- Shift weight clearly onto one leg before exiting the move to take a step.
- Let your entire spine loosen as a consequence of the pelvis movement.
- Practice moving weight between sides or staying on one side as desired.
- Combine slow drag with hip tilts for smooth transitions in the dance.

##REMEMBER
- Maintain a relaxed, low-energy effort to match the late-night blues style.
- Focus on pelvic tilting with one hip bone up and the other down for the movement.
- Ensure good connection with your partner and whisper-like, sexy execution.
- Use split weight as the starting position for the hip tilt move.
- Keep the movement cheeky and subtle, avoiding excessive energy or effort.
- Integrate the hip tilt seamlessly with other moves like slow drag for flow.
