How do you do a hip twist in salsa dance?

Question

I can't get the hip action, like how it thrusts and stuff.

Answer 1

when I try concentrating on just moving my hips I end up moving my legs more as well... so to get my butt shaking right I use lower abs, glutes & obliques to move them! I switch contracting obliques & glutes to get them going side to side.. takes practice and it takes time to get used to working those muscles but it's worth it! For more forward thrusts I use lower abs, to twist just one side forward it's obliques. Hope this helps!
