Hi Robd
I believe we have experts (or possibly, obsessives
) on wiggling in this forum, but I'll give it a go with my meagre level of knowledge.
I think the best bet is not to
try so much to wiggle - certainly, yes, it's all in the hips, and the shoulders shouldn't move that much. If you want to work on wiggles, the best notion I could think last time this topic came up was to try some merengue classes if you can find some - you could argue that merengue is a slowed-down, wiggly, latin version of Modern Jive.
I'm sure the Wiggle Appreciation Group will have something to say on this one, so I'll bow out. But, you know, it's not compulsory to wiggle, and don't let certain forumites tell you otherwise. Develop your own style; wiggles or lack thereof will come in time. There are some awesome dancers out there, who wouldn't touch wiggles with a bargepole. So to speak.
