First measure: Big hip circle -> little hip circle

Note: If you are on the left side of the circle, you will pivot on your left foot. Therefore, the hip circles should begin towards your left.
Conversely, if you are on the right side of the circle, you will pivot on your right foot. Therefore, the hip circle should begin towards your right.
The easy way to remember this is to make the circle start towards the audience.
