Lengthening Off & Through the Hips - Intro
None
- 00:00
- We talk about lifting up off the hips
- 00:02
- and um, when we dance, we dance for ourselves
- 00:05
- and with our partners,
- 00:07
- but we also wanna dance through to infinity.
- 00:10
- And in order to do that, we need
- 00:12
- to not only lift up along the spine the way we've talked,
- 00:14
- but we also need to lift up off our hips.
- 00:16
- So what I want you to do is take your h hands
- 00:20
- and hold pretty hard in, in, for me, it's into my fla
- 00:25
- at the hip bone, which is lower
- 00:26
- than you probably think it is.
- 00:28
- And then actually using your hands
- 00:30
- and your arm muscles, lift yourself up there.
- 00:32
- And once you've done that, take a hand
- 00:34
- and sit your chest back down.
- 00:35
- 'cause a lot of times that'll puff out your chest.
- 00:39
- And then once you've done that, relax a little bit
- 00:42
- and when you relax into that space,
- 00:45
- it'll make more room to lift further.
- 00:48
- And can you see that happen with David? Maybe? Yeah.
- 00:50
- Show the hips. There we go.
- 00:53
- If I actually press up here, he actually,
- 00:57
- he has growing he can do.
- 00:59
- And then when he relaxes against my, my hands,
- 01:02
- he has more growing he can do.
- 01:05
- It's really quite amazing.
- 01:06
- And it's, you can find it yourself, but it's not easy.
- 01:09
- If you have a partner, the partner can help,
- 01:11
- but you can do it in a mirror by yourself.
