- Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
- Relax your shoulders and arms, and let your hips hang freely.
- To start the hip shake, simply move your hips forward and back in a small, controlled motion.
- As you get more comfortable, you can increase the speed and intensity of the movement.
- Try to keep your upper body still and relaxed while you shake your hips.
- The hip shake should come from your core, not from your legs.
Rotation:
- To add rotation to your hip shake, simply twist your hips from side to side as you move them forward and back.
- The rotation should be smooth and fluid.
- Try to keep your hips in line with your shoulders as you twist them.
Isolation:
- To really master the Tahitian hip shake, you need to be able to isolate your hip movement.
- This means that you can move your hips independently of your upper body and legs.
- To practice isolation, try shaking your hips while keeping your upper body and legs still.
- You can also try shaking your hips in different directions, such as up and down or side to side.
Practice:
- The best way to learn the Tahitian hip shake is to practice regularly.
- Start by practicing for a few minutes each day, and gradually increase the amount of time you spend practicing as you get more comfortable.
- You can practice in front of a mirror so that you can see your form and make sure you are doing the movement correctly.
- You can also take a Tahitian dance class to learn the proper technique.
