Video Transcript

Let's do an unweighted hip movement that I like to call the rainbow. First put your bent knee in your standing leg, your weighted leg. Your unweighted leg is going to be in a showgirl foot position with the toe pressed into the floor. The heel up and the ankle in. Pull all the way up your body. Pull in your belly button. Lift your chest and relax your shoulders. Now we're going to twist the hip up and let it come down in the front. And we're going to lift it up and let it twist going back. Make sure that your unweighted leg does not swing around or go out especially. You want to keep it pointing forward slightly or in. So we're going to go back. Lift up. Go down. Up and back. Up and front. Up and back. Up and front. Up and back. Up and front. And a little faster. Very good! Now you have to make sure that while you're doing this twist, you don't get your shoulders moving along with your body. Otherwise you'll lose your whole hip movement here. Also make sure your head does not start bobbing up and down. And your knee stays nice and strong so that your head can stay nice and level. Be sure to practice that in the mirror and on both sides.
