I'm not sure what you mean about weighted down hips, but just because the pros do it, doesn't mean we have to do it. (ie. damaging our bodies). There are plenty of things we can do to maintain authenticity and a healthy body.
She does show an alternative to the tick-tock thing that's really even cooler! (And looks closer to Souhair's signature movement)
If a dancer chooses to do a movement irregardless of concern for her body, then fine... but as a teacher, I don't think we should be drilling our students with things we know can cause harm.
