Hi, I'm Johanna, and this is Karen. And we're here with Hip Expression Belly Dance Studio in St. Petersburg Florida. Let's work on our rocking undulation, and we're going to take it in a circle. So we're going to start with our right foot forward, and we're going to turn to the right, okay. We're going to take 8 counts. So it's going to be, forward, back, 3,4,5,6,7, hold on 8, switch, now left side; left, right, left, right, left, right, left, and switch, good; right, left, good, right; now remember add your undulation. We've gone over this undulation in an earlier- in a different clip. So what you want to do is practice that until you get it nice and smooth, and then you can add the turn with it. Alright, let's try it a little faster. Ready, and 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, switch; 1,2, stay on the balls of your feet, 5,6,7, switch, good. Practice in front of a mirror to make sure you're not bobbing up and down. You want a nice smooth turn, and clean isolations. Good job.
