If you are doing the dolphin kick with your arms, as in doing the butterfly then you start with your arms and chest and follow with your legs. Now if you are just doing dolphin kick with a kick-board then yes use your hips. Start maybe with fins this will help you get what it should feel like to do it correctly, also kick dolphin on your back and on your sides. This will help develop strength on both sides of your legs.
Hope this helps
