Good point. I remembered that I learned how to do hip lifts not by listening to how they were described, but by watching the way the moves actually looked on my first teacher's body - in particular, where there were wrinkles. Also, when I figured out the shoulder forward-back movement, I could tell from my body that I was doing it right (or, should I say, in a manner that was not going to injure me). It was later confirmed that I was indeed using the right muscles to do the movement.
