How do you roll your hips?

Published in Dance Movement 2 mins read

To roll your hips, you move them in a circular motion, essentially going from front to side, back, and then the other side.

Here's a breakdown of how to roll your hips:

  1. Start with the basics: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and core engaged. This provides a stable base.
  2. Isolate the movements: Practice moving your hips forward, then to one side, then backward, and finally to the other side. Think of drawing a square or rectangle with your hips.
  3. Smooth it out: Once you're comfortable with the individual movements, connect them to create a fluid, circular motion. Imagine you're stirring a pot with your hips.
  4. Increase speed: Gradually increase the speed of the hip roll while maintaining control and proper form.

Think of it like this:

  • Front: Push your hips forward.
  • Side: Shift your hips to one side.
  • Back: Push your hips backward.
  • Other Side: Shift your hips to the other side.

Repeat these steps in a continuous loop. With practice, you'll be able to roll your hips smoothly and rhythmically.
