Liquid Motion
|
Liquid Motion How do they do it? Where does it come from? Is it something they’re born with, or is it something they’re taught? These questions and questions like these always come to mind as I struggle to duplicate the motion that comes so naturally to women. It reminds me of silk in a gentle breeze. A few things I’ve tried to get myself limbered up to achieve the motions are taking a few belly dancing lessons as well as some aerobic dance exercise videos designed for women. I’m hoping to accomplish two things with that one. Trying to more naturally swivel my hips and body as well as trimming down my waist to get more of an hourglass figure. With any luck, I’ll be able to discipline myself enough to keep it up until I get the results I want. I guess we’ll see. I’ve been working on it for several months but haven’t seen the results I want yet, but I guess these things take time and I’ll have to be patient and persistent. ~A~  It's not always the "little" things in life that make you smile.   |

MANY years ago I was in a youth Drum and Bugle corps, "The Madison Scouts" if anyone ever got into the drum corps world, anyway, our marching style was more of a rolled-hip style to keep the torso and head as un-moving as possible while playing an instrument. It's is basically walking with putting one foot directly in front of the other while walking and try to keep your upper body moving forward as smooth as possible. Although it used to crack us up whenever anyone mentioned it, this happens to be true, clenching one's butt cheaks help smooth out upper body movement while at the same time helping to transfer more of the movement to the hips. Your hips then become what is moving the most automagically. Women I've taught to Latin and Swing dance all were taught "The Walk" first and they easily transitioned to fluidly switching between the styles. Give it a try.
