Learn Belly Dance: Hip Shimmy (Step-by-Step Tutorial)

توضیحات:

Join my 1-Month Beginner Course and start your dance journey with clear technique, musicality, and confidence: ➡️ If you’ve ever struggled with hip shimmies: feeling stiff, awkward, or like your movement just isn’t improving, this tutorial is for you. In this video, I’m breaking down my fundamental hip shimmy technique, the one I use most in my own dancing. We’ll go step by step through body alignment, posture, which muscles should be working (and which ones should not), and how to safely and effectively build speed, control, and consistency over time. This tutorial is helpful for all levels, but I move especially slowly and clearly for beginners so you can really understand what’s happening in your body. If you drill this correctly, your shimmies will feel stronger, more relaxed, and more musical, without tension in your back or knees. Shake it out, take a breath, and let’s get started!
