The parts on the sides of your body where your legs connect, that help you walk and dance.
This word comes from an old English word that meant the same body part.
Your hips are like special hinges that let your legs move back and forth! When you wiggle and dance, you're moving your hips to make your whole body groove to the music.
Hips have been aestheticized and sexualized in ways that center female bodies; the term carries gendered beauty/sexuality assumptions in cultural contexts.
In anatomical/medical contexts, use neutrally. In cultural/aesthetic contexts, interrogate whose bodies are being evaluated and by what standards.
