## FOCUS - This lesson teaches a simple hip movement called the rocks, focusing on swinging the hips from side to side while maintaining weight in both legs. ## TIP & TRICKS: - Stand with feet wider than hip-width apart and keep knees soft. - Swing hips from side to side without transferring full weight to one leg. - Keep the distance between ribs and hips long to accentuate the swing. - Add optional arm actions, originally called 'milking the cow', for practice. ##REMEMBER - Relax the whole body and keep hips heavy for effective movement. - Avoid isolating or popping the hips up; maintain a smooth, long swing. - Incorporate hip rocks into basic dance moves like walks with music.
