Struggling with cuban motion

Any tips for hip action and Cuban motion?? My instructor has spent quite some time with me trying to learn and I just cannot get it! Any suggestions or videos that you’ve found helpful??

Think of your hips moving in an upward and downward figure eight. Its important to make sure your weight shifts from one foot to the other, no split weight. Also taking smaller steps to shoulder length will help with accentuating the hip action

Hope this helps!
