Figure 8s practice

OK, well, my instructor told us to practice our figure 8's ad nauseum this week, so here it is. i threw in some hip circles and basic hip bumps for good measure. :)

Now, if only I could keep my face relaxed and not look like i am concentrating so hard...

Haha! Oh, those facial muscles.. so much trickier than the body ones. Doing different sizes of mayas and reverse 8's really helped me get them down.. like, a small one, and then a slow one that stretched how far I could push my hip out, how far up with how big it was, etc.. Also, level changes! Your thighs will hate you, but it really helps to try the 8's on releve, then flat footed, then bent slightly. Although, I say that and that is -still- a major drill of mine.
