Challenge numbers 8, 9 and 10

Start traveling to the side with a hip circle with the front part of your circle going in the same direction as you are traveling. Do 8 full circles to the right, end with a pelvic tuck an then do 8 full circles to the left. Have your arms in L arms with the arm down in the direction of travel. Add, wrist rotations for a set of 8 in each direction, then change it to floreos for a set of 8 in each direction, then alternate, odd numbered circles with wrist rotation, even with floreos. Next, add a hip lift shimmy (NOT ¾) to your circles and repeat the series (no hand movement, wrist rotation, floreo, alternating). Then switch to the Egyptian shimmy and repeat the series again.

Next, travel with your hip circles where the front part of your circle is going the OPPOSITE direction from your direction of travel, you will change directions with a backward hip push on the side you were traveling towards. Do the entire exercise above using the backward hip circle.

Finally, start a clockwise hip circle and keep the circle going clockwise while you travel 8 circles to the right and then 8 circles to the left, you change directions by doing a full circle in place and starting up at the right position to go the other way. Do the entire exercise above using only clockwise hip circles. Then reverse and do the entire exercise using only counterclockwise hip circle.

These challenges, though not identical, are based on an exercise Princess Farhana used at her recent workshop in Buffalo, Mo.
