Shoulder-Driven Bounce

Also called: new york bounce, ny style bounce, shoulder bounce

Definition

The evolved New York version of the bounce where energy travels up into the shoulders with the hips more neutral, replacing the Cuban hip-driven inward knee twist. It pairs with heel flicks in the modern style.
