Hip Overs

Ok, I'm going to eventually post some photographs showing the breakdown of the moves we learned, but the digital camera is with my husband and not in Durham right now! So we'll rely on words:

Hip-Overs

Starting with both feet on the ground, isolate one hip and tilt your pelvis so that that hip is lowered compared to the other. Now push the lowered hip away from your body in a scooping motion. As it moves out, lift it up and continue the upward motion by pushing your foot up onto its toes. At the top of its motion, zip the hip 'inward' towards your body by tightening the little muscles that run up the sides of your abs. With these muscles still tightened, lower the hip straight down. You are "drawing a circle" in the air with your hip this way. Once you are happy doing this on the spot with both hips, try moving with it, using the point where you push your hip up with your toes to push you sideways in a sidestep.
