## 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.
