Advice on hip "snapping"

[Jaani]

Hi BTF,

I'm a new adult learner and I find that when doing feet movements that require leg raises (ex. Punjab, Chaffa, Dhamaal) the area where the raised leg meets my hip tends to "snap" when I bring my leg back down.

Does anyone else experience this? I don't feel any pain, but I was wondering if anyone could share advice on how to stop this "snapping" (I'm not sure how else to describe it, hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about).

Thank you in advance!

I have seen and personally experienced a similar issue. It is likely due to poor flexibility in your hip adductors and hip abductors. Stretching your groin along with your hamstrings and quadriceps may be able to improve the issue. the snapping itself should not be an issue unless it is also accompanied with a sudden inability to bear weight or severe pain.
