Swinging Around the Hips
Hips. The genesis of the dance floor. Self-conscious at first, and then suddenly, subservient to the beat. A good night is all down to the hips. The loose limbs, the footwork, the shimmy - all this is a riot of movement that ripples from the hips. So the next time a guest asks what they can bring: Hips, my friends! Bring your hips and nothing else!
