Basic step 3, or drop the hip:

This is one of the sharp steps normally we call it a hip drop.When you perform the basic step 3 with the right hip you will have your weight on you left leg. The heel of your right foot is a little above the floor. Now push your right hip down and up again. The upper body and the arms are completely still while you perform the step. take care that you dont chance the level ( in short don't jump up and down ). See below how it looks.

Imagine the picture being your reflection.

Below you can see how it is done if you repeat the movement many times. Be a little patient, the file takes some time to download.
