Mastering the Sexy Walk: A Foundation of Hip-Hop Movement
In short: Learn the mechanics of the 'Sexy Walk' from the New Jersey hip-hop scene. This breakdown covers the essential leg work, weight distribution, and arm coordination needed to move fluidly to club music.
The dance is built on a rhythmic 'in and out' leg motion. To maintain fluidity at high speeds, dancers must keep their knees bent and stay on the balls of their feet to remain light. The movement is compared to a 'funky chicken' with a step up and back, requiring constant leg 'flapping.'
Arm movements should move opposite to the legs, using a pulling motion similar to elbowing. The routine concludes with 'rock my hips,' which involves dipping, leaning forward, and switching sides to a count of eight.
