Regular figure eight:

When doing a regular figure eight you start by pushing your right hip forward thereafter bringing it outwards in a circular movement - continue as far back as possible. Repeat the movement with your left hip and so forth making your hips describe a figure eight. When making this step you must make sure not to pull up your hip, in stead it must be pushed as far out to the side as possible - keeping the movement horizontal. Your upper body is absolutely still when doing this step. A regular figure eight the opposite of a figure eight from behind.
Below you can see how it is done.
