In this clip, we're going to learn how to do a hip drop. Let's start by standing on one leg, and bring the other foot slightly forward, on the ball of the foot. Alright. And we're really going to sit up, stand up tall on that leg. We don't want to sit into the hip, so really get up on your leg. Remember your core muscles. We'll frame the hip with this hand. And, let's bring this hand to the forehead. We're going to contract and drop the hip down. Contract, drop, contracting with side muscles, press the foot into the floor and drop, contract, drop, contract, drop, contract, drop, and drop. Let's try the other side. Standing on the foot, other foot forward, really get up on your leg, frame the hip, other arm up over the head, and drop, and drop, and drop, contract, drop, and drop, and drop, and drop, and drop.
