Motion365 - Day 031: Never Stop

This is a duplicate blog entry from Motion365, my personal dance adventure from 2010-2011.  Notable entries have been copied to this blog so students and fellow dancers may enjoy the ponderings and combos created from the experience.

Song: Never Stop (3:13) by Hilary Duff from Dignity

Today’s Motion365 gave birth to a new layering/combo which I will coin the “Reverse Fish.”  It travels away from the audience using reverse, alternating bicycle hips and swimming arms.

Start with feet flat, body facing front, arms raised in front of you at rib level with palms facing the floor.

1-2: R bicycle hip to the back (with a tiny step) as you angle your torso to the R diagonal.  Simultaneously, floreo R hand toward you and then push your R hand away toward the audience (as though saying, “come hither” and then “go away”).

3-4:  L bicycle hip to the back (with a tiny step) as you angle your torso to the L diagonal.  Simultaneously floreo L hand toward you and then push your L hand away toward the audience.

5-6: R bicycle hip to the back (with a tiny step) as you angle your torso to the R diagonal.  Simultaneously, floreo R hand toward you and then push your R hand away toward the audience.

7-8:  L bicycle hip to the back (with a tiny step) as you angle your torso to the L diagonal.  Simultaneously floreo L hand toward you and then push your L hand away toward the audience.

Tip: If you take away the lower body movement, the top half resembles swim strokes.
