Belly Dance Every Day - Hip Moves Part 5
We’ll start with hip figure 8’s going horizontally. Like you were drawing a circle on the floor with hip circles, you will draw an “8″ (or better yet an infinity sign on the floor since your 8 is sideways). It will help if you can imagine your clock on the floor, too.
Start by sliding your right hip forward at a diagonal while pushing it out (about 2 o’clock), bring the hip to the back while still pushed out(to 4 o’clock). Now push the right hip through the center so that your left hip is at about 10 o’clock and extended. Bring the left hip back to about 8 o’clock and push it through the center to the right. Try this several times slowly, being sure to hit each point. Smooth it out to make your 8 round on the ends.
Reverse the move going back, starting slowly and hitting all of your points until you are comfortable before rounding it out.
This is another one of the flat moves, so be sure you aren’t lifting your hips. Watch your posture and your isolation - keep the torso out of the move.
