Class #3 Up and Over

Class #3 "Up and Over"

---Hip Arcs--With weight shifted to one leg, the hip on the unweighted leg goes up and over to the front towards 11:00. It then goes up and back towards 5:00. Repeat on other leg.

--- Egyptian basic--Do hip ups on alternating hips – on one side and then the other, returning the feet to center in between. To walk, do the hip up on the foot that is stepping forward. To walk backwards, do the hip up, then step your foot back. Adding arm pulls: FCBD arm pulls--with arms over head or in rounded front position (like you’re holding a tree), do hip ups. Every time the hip comes up, the arms “pull” down to meet it.

*Working with the music* Rule of 4. Most music sections are repeated in four, even if the rhythm is an uneven count. 2, 4, and 8 are how most combinations and choreographies are counted.
