For me, the only thing that help is PURPOSEFULLY practising on the weaker hip. Nothing particular, just the usual moves I would normally do - but starting on the right, finishing on the right, repeating on the right, travelling to the right, etc etc. I still feel my left is much stronger than my right, and when I improv (which is most of the time), everything comes more naturally to the left and as such I use it more. I need to think a little about the right, keep it in mind that it's there. I feel like such a CLUTZ when we do right-sided things in class, because my balance is worse and my transiotions are rougher. So if I'm left to myself, in class I also favour the strong hip... and allow myself to practise clutzily on the right at home.
Yup, that sounds like me at the moment... and you're right I think I am just going to have to make extra effort with all my lefty hip/lead stuff.

I just need some ideas on how to incorporate it into my current dance schedule.
