FOCUS

  • This lesson teaches the Mooch, a hip-action dance move focusing on isolated circular hip motions. The goal is to practice and combine these motions in place and while traveling.

TIP & TRICKS:

  • Imagine drawing a big circle with each hip bone using two giant pencils.
  • Roll through the foot when stepping: toe first, then ball, then heel for soft absorption.
  • When combining hips, use semicircles or rainbows instead of full circles.
  • Travel forward by stepping slightly in front with each weight change.
  • Travel sideways by circling the hip on the side you want to move to and stepping together.

##REMEMBER

  • Keep the hip motion subtle and isolated to avoid involving the whole body.
  • Practice in front of a mirror to refine the circular hip action.
  • The Mooch is a slow, controlled movement not meant to be done fast.
  • Focus on soft footwork to maintain a smooth and relaxed flow.
