## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on connecting foot movements to the hips through soft knees and rotation, aiming to explore grounded, intimate self-expression.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Soften the knees to let movement travel from the feet into the legs and hips.
- Create slow, flowy rotations in the hips while keeping grounded on the floor.
- Draw circles with the hips, changing direction as desired, such as left or right.
- Maintain soft legs to stay connected with the ground during movement.
- Start with small movements of the feet and knees to feel changes in the hips.

##REMEMBER
- Keep the dance intimate and non-performative, focusing on self-expression.
- Stay relaxed and breathe consistently throughout the movements.
- Maintain a grounded feeling by not lifting away from the floor.
- Take time and space to explore movements slowly and mindfully.
- Connect foot pressure to lead movement through the legs into the hips.
