Welcome! Summer is hot, and so is this choreography! It's fast, so we will be drilling A LOT!
Here are the movements covered in this first class of the drum solo series:
1. Hip Singles - start slow, then speed up. Faster speeds mean smaller movement in the hip. Starting on the right hip up on the downbeat, then left hip up. Practice with weight on one leg (and the other leg too). Practice switching weight from right leg to left leg.
2. Hip bumps - The right hip goes up-down on the beat. Left foot flat, and right foot on the ball in front of the left. Shuffle the back foot to travel. The right foot remains on the ball the entire time. Left arm straight up, right arm straight out in front with elbow bent. Torso is turned slightly to where the right hip is facing front.
3. Pivot Bump Doubles - The right hip goes up twice to the front, then up twice to the back. Right arm up, left arm forward when right hip is front, right arm forward and left arm up when hip goes back. Torso is turned slightly to where the right hip is facing front.
The name of the music is called "Rakataka" from Hossam Ramzy's album Sabla Tolo.
Happy 4th of July!
