to not use it only as a trend but go deeper into the cultural background and its use around celebration, ritual, rhythm, and community

not just reproduce the movement but find the context behind

not treat it as something exotic, hypersexual, provocative or shocking

make use of our cultural background as well: latin american dances, middle eastern (belly dance)

these dances use the hips and waist as the centre of movement and are often being sexualised

we could reconnect to the background of these dances and use them as an expression of celebration, resistance, joy

reclaiming the meaning:linguistic term

reclaiming hip centered dances as a form of joy and celebration

freeing ourselves from the expectation of feeling shame

classicism: giving value to lower classes

decriminalising the act of shaking booties and dancing entirely from the waist and hips
