How to Move Your Hips in the Samba Dance

Hi, my name is Yolanda Travis and on behalf of Expert Village. Today I'll be teaching you how to Samba. The next step I'm going to teach you is your hips so what you want to do is turn your body to the side, your legs will turn a little bit and twist your hips. You kind of want to keep your legs close cause you don't want to show anything it makes it look more nicer. The lower you go the better it looks so you twist down and then you twist back up twisting to the center going to the other side and go down. Let's do it again step 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 step 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and now let's do a twist going round and it's 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. When you twist you're going to be making a circle with your butt (dancing) a circle circle circle circle pointing your butt out and now faster circle circle circle circle circle circle. To the other side circle circle circle circle and circle circle circle circle circle sometimes the other side is a little bit harder than the other.
