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.
