Hips Don't Lie


We continued with the House routine today, an emphasis was on hip rotation.  Carla put a lot of time into explaining the different variations and ways to move the hips.  The key word was “internal”.   I enjoyed the different feeling of simply rotating and isolating the hips in the usual way.  I was able to open myself up to a new way to choreograph and use hips in dance.  The internal feeling of rotating the hips personally remind me of chakra manipulation, and how the body channels energy throughout the body, as the hips are close to the naval, where a ball  of energy sits. 
Towards the end of the session Carla started playing around with choreographic ideas.  We began with a travelling contemporary routine, spreading across the whole space of the floor.  Carla was focussed on choreographing on the mainly the boys, incorporating lifts with the girls.  I am looking forward to the progression of how everything will work.
