Does the Hula Hula favor slanted hip or level hips. I alwalys felt that slanted hips was the program. I asked a friend who is and instuctor at Ledbetter, and she said, always level hips. I don't buy that. What are your thoughts. More difficult to turn the hips level and maintain a steady head . . . a question for the instructor would be WHEN does the left leg get straight? The knee action pretty much controls the hip slant and also has implications on the slant of the shoulder turn which have implications on the hand path . . . . so basically all that stuff has far reaching implications on components and plane angles . . . . __________________ Aloha Mr. Hand Behold my hands; reach hither thy hand 12 piece bucket View Public Profile Send a private message to 12 piece bucket Find all posts by 12 piece bucket
