Drills & Moves Technique – Egyptian Downs
I’ve been working up a new choreography for my students and found myself in class the other day walking them through one of my favorite movements – Egyptian Downs, or weighted hip downs.
This movement, however easy to understand in the brain, is definitely one that belongs in the “easier said than done” category. I attribute this to the fact that it’s pretty much the opposite of what we do when we walk (and we’ve been walking for quite a while now.) Do you know what I mean?
Check out this new technique video I created for you to see just what I’m talking about and discover a way to break down the movement that will make it much easier for you to wrap your muscles around!
Practice this for a while and you just might find that these counterintuitive downs may surpass their more upward sisters as your favorite variation of the move!
