Belly Dancing Drill: Forward Back Hip Slide

Let's drill the Hip Slide forward and back. So start with our feet facing straight ahead, knees bent, belly button pulled in, chest lifted, shoulders back and down, arms out away from the body, good, and press the hips forward slightly in front of you. Remember this is a very subtle move. And then pull back, keeping the low Abs engaged, tailbone tucked, tucked, tucked under, don't let the butt fly out, tucked under. Good. Slide forward, center, back, and center. Good. Let's keep the same pace, forward, center, weight should be equal on both feet, back, and center. Good, a little faster. So let's go forward, through the center, and back, and center. Good. Keep going, good, remember this is a very subtle move and you're building lots of different little tiny muscles they're going to help you have nice, clean and precise hip movements. So, think about building that, those neuromuscular connections that will help with your belly dancing. Slide forward and back, forward and back, good, forward low Abs engage, forward and back, forward and back, shoulders stay isolated, forward and back. Very nice.
