Step 1
Learn how to breathe properly before beginning undulations. Deep breathing gives you more energy for your dancing and helps your body to relax. Inhale and expand the belly while raising your shoulders, then exhale, letting your shoulders and ribcage drop down and your stomach rest.
-
Step 2
Pull the chest forward. Lift it up and then drop it. Tuck the pelvis under, then release it. Then push the belly forward, and your hips will move to the front. Push the groin forward, mimicking a sitting position.
-
Step 3
Continue pushing the chest forward and back, and move the hips out and then in. Repeat this in a smooth, snaky motion. Keep the balls of your feet firmly on the floor and bend your knees during the repetitions.
-
Step 4
Do the undulation in the opposite direction. Start at the pelvis and move the wave, or snake-like movement, up to the chest.
-
Step 5
Exploit your arm movements to center the undulations. Keep one arm raised behind you and the other arm relaxed by your hip. Learn to stand sideways, not straight while performing this movement so the audience can see the rippling effect of the undulation.
-
Step 6
Conquer arm undulations. Do a shoulder roll on your right side, then raise the right elbow, using the slow, sexy movement you used for the downward undulation. Let the movement travel to the wrist and the fingers and end with a graceful hand wave.
-
Step 7
Repeat on the left side, maintaining a snaky flow from the shoulder down to the fingers.
