Okay, so I wanted to try out this “rory drop” thing I saw online. It looked pretty cool, and I figured, why not give it a shot?
First, I had to find a good spot. I went to my practice space. Make sure It’s not too cramped.
Getting the Feel
I started by just getting a feel for the movement. I watched a bunch of videos first, so I had a general idea. You know, it’s all about that smooth, controlled drop. Here’s what I did to warm up:
- Basic Squats: Just to loosen up my legs and get the blood flowing.
- Leg Swings: Forward, backward, and sideways. Gotta get those hips flexible!
- A Few Practice Bends: Started small, just bending at the knees and waist a little, feeling the stretch.
Trying the Actual Drop
Alright, time for the real deal. This took a few tries, no lie. My first attempts were… not graceful. I felt like a baby giraffe trying to stand up for the first time. But, I kept at it. Here’s how I broke it down:
- The Stance:Got my music player ready, and my hand to hold my body.
- The Bend:I bent my knees, keeping my back straight. This is key, I think. Don’t want to hurt yourself.
- The Drop: This is where it gets tricky. I pushed off with my feet, letting my body fall backward. It’s a controlled fall, though. You’re not just flopping down. I put my hands down at first to help land and have good posture.
- The Landing: I tried to land softly, with my weight evenly distributed. This took some practice. It’s easy to end up on your butt if you’re not careful.
Practice Makes Perfect (Almost)
I didn’t get it perfect right away, not even close. But after a bunch of tries, I started to get the hang of it. It’s all about finding that balance and control. I’m still working on making it look super smooth, but I’m definitely getting there.
It was a fun experiment! I’m definitely going to keep practicing this. Maybe I’ll even be able to do it as awesomely. We’ll see!
