body rolls
Sequential trunk undulations
Body rolls are a dance move where the torso undulates in a wave-like motion, typically moving the chest forward and up while the hips push back, then reversing.
The movement creates a fluid, serpentine effect through the midsection.
Body rolls appear in hip-hop, belly dancing, and club dancing, often signaling sensuality or swagger: She hit some body rolls during the chorus.
