Hello All!
I hope I am posting in the right place for this question... if not, please forgive me!
I am starting my second session of beginner level BD, (classic Egyptian, leaning toward shaabi) and tonight we were introduced to the "X-step".
I watched and watched and tried and tried... I am baffled, my hips are baffled, and I am starting to get a hate-on for this move... but it's only been a few hours! LOLOL!!!
I wanted to check out the move on Youtube and hoped that seeing a variety of dancers do the move might help my brain un-kerblooie, but my search brings up nothing!
Is this move known by another name?
It's.... okay, I don't know if I can explain it on account of the kerblooie-factor, but it's.... right hip drop, make a "U" with your hips (like the back-half of an Umi), then left hip-drop, "U" back to the right side - repeat... all the while sweeping your foot in graceful arcs out to each side as you walk backwards....
~sigh~
...................... I KNOW I will get this move - I just don't feel it yet...
Any help in finding this on Youtube would be HUGELY appreciated!
Thanks!
