FOCUS
- This lesson focuses on the 'mess around' hip swing, teaching how to swing the hips in a big circle and incorporate steps for traveling or changing direction.
TIP & TRICKS:
- Stand with feet under hips and keep legs soft and relaxed.
- Swing hips in a circle starting from the sternum and spine.
- Step on the right as hips swing forward and to the right, and on the left as they swing back.
- For side travel, use a step-together pattern while maintaining the hip circle.
- Change hip direction when changing step direction.
- Add a pulse or bounce to the hip swing for a funkier texture.
##REMEMBER
- The mess around involves the whole body, not just the hips.
- It can be done in place, while traveling, or with changes in texture.
- Keep the hip circle smooth and consistent regardless of foot movements.
- This move is versatile for both partner and solo dancing.
- Adjust the rhythm based on the music to enhance the movement.
- Imagine swinging a basketball to combine swinging and bouncing motions.
