Active pivot versus reactive pivot

I only use part of HK's definition of hula hula flexibility.

He states-: "A Hula Hula flexibility allows the Hips and Shoulders to be independent but coordinate."

I simply think of hula hula flexibility as the ability to rotate your pelvis in the downswing without necessarily rotating your shoulders concurrently in the same direction.

Here is a nice practical demonstration of excellent hula hula flexibility where the dancer can move her pelvis in one direction while she moves her upper torso in the opposite direction.



Jeff.

I couldn't get the video? But what exactly does your definition of Hula Hula executed in the this fashion result in?

Mr. K is simply "tilting the axis" so the hands can stay on the face of the plane rather than getting drug out and over . . . . Hips control plane of shoulders which control hand path. I'm not sure this independent rotation concept isn't a recipe for a roundhouse . . . . but I would like to hear your reasoning as to the importance of your concept of hula hula.
