FOCUS
- This lesson focuses on the grind, a rotational hip swing variation, with the goal of practicing it in place, adding steps, and exploring exaggerated and traveling versions.
TIP & TRICKS:
- Start with feet under hips and swing hips rotationally, bringing one hip back as the other swings forward.
- When stepping, roll through the foot from ball to heel for a soft, gradual weight transfer.
- Practice against a wall to keep the upper body facing forward and minimize movement.
- For the exaggerated grind, stretch the ribs forward as the hip swings back to create resistance.
- Allow the back leg to rotate outwards naturally when performing a bigger hip swing.
- Travel the grind by stepping slightly forward or backward to create walking variations.
##REMEMBER
- Keep the movement fluid and subtle, with all action happening from the belly button down.
- Maintain a split weight stance to facilitate the hip swing and leg adjustments.
- Use energy from the ground through the foot and leg to drive the hip motion.
- The grind can be adapted in size and direction for different variations and challenges.
