New Moves FOR THE CLUB (from Cardi B)

Hi guys, today I'm going to break down a few of Cardi B's moves so you can do them at the next party. Alright, move number one, this one is from her newest video. It's going to be a little bit out there but we can always adjust it and adapt it to social settings so we don't look crazy. It's a fun move to do. So you're going to have feet slightly apart and on every beat you're going to open the knees. Out, out, out. Just like that. Get used to this motion. And keep in mind we have to be low because we can't really do it with straight legs so stay low. We go open, open, open, open four times and we're going to add the arms. The arms go like this, up, up, double, double. And then you can switch if you keep repeating this movement but essentially it's like you're fanning your shoulder type of situation. One arm is down, one is touching the shoulder. You basically are doing single, single, double and we have to connect it with the lower body. So we have open and touch, open, open, open. Because remember the last one we have to double up. Nothing changes with the knees but the hand is touching the shoulder two times. Let's try again. Out, out, out, out. And then you can repeat it starting on the other side. And like I said this move might not look that good if you do it over and over. If you want to do it at a party you can always make something different up with the arms. You can just keep them down or bent by your sides. It will look also pretty good. And one more thing that will make this movement look better. Isolate the pelvis. So every single time the knees open you're going to bring the booty back. And then reset when the knees go back in. Out, out, out. Just like that. It's a small motion. We do it pretty fast so it's not going to be too noticeable. But it does something to this movement. It makes it look better. One thing that will help you make this movement look better is adding energy to it. It is an energetic song that she's dancing to. We wanted the movement to match the song. And of course I cannot use the same song for copyright reasons. But I'll still play something that's very energetic. So when you're let's say opening the knees make sure it's not timid. Make sure it's not too small. We want decisive big movements because this is what she's doing as well. This next move guys. I love this one because it's smooth, it's sexy. I definitely will be doing it at the next party. It's a little up and over hip roll. What happens here is you're going to have one foot out. As you bring the hip up you're going to shift weight onto that foot. And then as you're dropping the hip you're going to drop the body. So it goes up, up, up and over. Drop and up, drop. Imagine you have a little string and you're pulling the hip to go up and over. And we only need to do it on one side. So feel free to try both and then stick to whichever one is easier for you. For me it's definitely the left. Up and as you're pushing the hip make sure you're reaching out. So you have to feel the stretch of the hip because if you make it too small it's not going to be visible. We don't want this. You see this is not enough. We want to exaggerate this motion. At least at first. At least when we are learning the movement. Later when we do it with the music, when it's faster, then we'll make it smaller. And the good news about this motion is that you can have the foot in any position. So she's a little bit at an angle. That's why it looks a bit different. But you can also do it here. The same movement. The main part is the hips. You have to leave this movement from the hips. It initiates everything. And then the shift of the body weight, it just follows the hips. Make sure the heel goes up a little bit to help you lift the hip when you start. And then as the hip drops, you're going to put that weight on that heel. Naturally it will want to get down to the floor. We'll push it down. But this is a cool move to experiment with because you can literally bring the foot out anywhere. Out to the side, in front, even in the back. This is still the same type of movement. And by the way, let me know guys what artist I should steal the moves from next. Because there's a lot I can do. I was thinking maybe Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj maybe had some moves. Post this video right now and let me know in the comments a few people that would be good. Like who can dance. Maybe you've seen some concert footage, music videos. Give me some ideas. I will definitely do it for you. The last move she's doing in that little video is a little hip up action. Either hip up or hip down. This one is simple, easy enough to do even on heels. You don't have to do like too much. So we're going to have the feet apart. She's doing it at an angle, but I'll show you first how it looks straight up. You're going to have the foot out. The weight stays on the standing leg. You're not transferring it out. You're just going to touch the toes and then you're going to bring the hip up. Try to control it, not from the leg. So don't try to start this motion with the knee, but rather start it with the hip. It's a hip isolation. So even you can practice it without the feet. Just imagine you have a string and you go up, up, up. And it's a very small motion. The heel kind of gives the hip that extra push. So it makes the movement look bigger. This is why we want to do it. But in general, keep the body low. Don't attempt to do this movement with straight legs. It will look very black. It's not going to be a smooth movement. So stay low. Right. Then we shift to one leg and then you slowly popping that hip up a few times. She does it quite a few times. The interesting thing about this movement, and I think her and her sister, they kind of do like different accents. So you can either accent up on every beat or you can bring it down on every beat. I like the up version. I feel like it's easier. And then once you have it, you can again change the angle a little bit. But you can face the corner of the room. She does it kind of at an angle and it's the same movement. Right. And I like how they go together. The one we did before with the little scoop and then up, up, up. So definitely you can mix it up. One more thing that will help you make this move look better is adding the arms to it. But because there's so much going on, I would do just something simple, like slowly lifting the arms of the body as you're focusing on making the lower body, the hips look good. So we have up, up, up, up like that. So you're pushing, but at the same time, slowly lifting the arms. It will show like you're a little bit more into the movement rather than just doing this. If you're new here and you have trouble dancing in certain settings, maybe you don't know what to do. Maybe you don't have rhythm. You have trouble like moving different body parts together or it just doesn't look right.
