And now the horizontal figure 8 or the infinity trajectory you draw with your hips in the horizontal plane.
here is our figure 8..... all you do here is:  
twist your hip forward horizontally, push your hip diagonally forward,  shift your weight to this leg and twist it toward the back....
As this hip twists back, the other one comes forward, so now push this other hip diagonally forward - shift your weight here, twist toward the back....push diagonally- shift weight to this leg, twist back....

push diagonally forward, twist back....push diagonally forward, twist back....
Keep your upper body isolated from the hips, your chest is in the middle - you are extending your hip, but your chest stays in one place.
Keep your knees soft with a light bend. Don't do this move with your legs locked straight - bad for your knees and not a graceful version of this move - even though you do see it performed this way. But don't look at them... follow the good advice, right here!

In the side position - make sure your hip is not lifted - you want this move to be horizontal, so stretch right here - to extand your hip as far as you can without lifting it.

My feet are at shoulder width or you can keep them together. If you stance is too wide, your hipwork looks smaller, and we want it to look big. Keep shifting weight and keep your chest in the middle!
