<p>COURSE: jookin-moves</p>
|
|
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the 'rocks' hip movement, focusing on swinging hips side-to-side with split weight, and demonstrates how to incorporate it into partner dancing in various positions.</p>
|
|
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
|
<li>Stand with feet wider than hip-width apart, knees soft, and hips relaxed for a heavy feel.</li>
|
|
<li>Swing hips from side to side while keeping weight in both legs, avoiding full weight transfer.</li>
|
|
<li>Maintain a long distance between ribs and hips to accentuate the swing, not isolating or crunching.</li>
|
|
<li>To enter rocks from a basic step or walk, make a clear weight shift into both legs with confidence.</li>
|
|
<li>In partner dance, lead rocks by simply doing the movement, transitioning from weight on one side to split weight.</li>
|
|
</ul></p>
|
|
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
|
<li>Rocks originated with arm actions called 'milking the cow', but hands can be omitted for a cooler look.</li>
|
|
<li>This move is one of the few where you use split weight instead of shifting weight to one side.</li>
|
|
<li>Rocks can be added at the end of moves, such as turns, for a funky effect, especially in open position for more freedom.</li>
|
|
<li>Practice rocks in closed position, close embrace, and open position to integrate them into various dance scenarios.</li>
|
|
<li>The movement works the same way regardless of entry, emphasizing a relaxed body and smooth hip swing.</li>

</ul></p> |
