When you practice this move, step to the right and left twice, alternating as you go.
Don’t be afraid to turn your hips out as you move your feet. The less stiff you are, the better your dance moves will look! As you practice these moves, always stay on your toes so you can move quickly.
As you drag your feet, remember to stay on your toes. This makes the drag easier to execute.
When you first practice this move, do it slowly to get every motion down pat. As you get more comfortable with the move, speed up the pace. Your arms should move in front of your body as your feet cross in front of each other. They should return to your sides as you move back to the shoulder-width stance.
While your arms are moving out and in, keep your feet shoulder-width apart. The only time they should be together during this move is at the beginning of it.
As you dab with your upper body, try moving around your lower body at the same time. You can slide back and forth, hop around, or wiggle your hips.
This dance comes from a popular rap song called Hit the Quan. When you practice this dance move, do it while listening to this song.
As you get more comfortable with this dance, try to bend your knees so that you’re really close to the ground. Keeping that low, flexible base allows you to try out your own variations of this dance.
The song has other instructions, such as “criss cross,” where you jump up and down and make your legs move in a scissor-like motion and “how low can you go,” where you put your hands on your knees and move your body downwards.
While you should spend time practicing without music to focus on getting the basics right, dancing to music allows you to get better and moving your body to a specific rhythm.
Only move on to this step once you feel totally comfortable with each move individually. You don’t want to build bad habits, which can happen if you try to combine all your moves without focusing on each one separately.
Other benefits to dancing include losing weight, maintaining strong bones, and increasing balance.
If you’re feeling a bit self-conscious, go to the clubs with a large group of friends to enjoy a fun, stress-free night out!
