Egyptian Belly Dancing : Egyptian Belly Dancing : The Hip Drop

[lavenderinjune]

I'm not really getting the difference between a hip LIFT and a hip DROp - she lifts it and let's it fall back - how can that be called a drop?

[irockxoxox3]

OMG! prefect ass. lol

[855javi]

no le intiendo ni mais

[dulcey4]

Shakeira is an amazing dancer, but people have to remember she didn't INVENT belly dancing. She just does it in her own way adding in her knowledge of latin dancing into it. Belly dancing has been an ancient practice, and the way this woman explains it is very clear and precise which is what belly dancing is. It's an AMAZING exorcise. I never had any other that actually makes my stomach sweat within the first 5 minutes of it if you do it right. I'd definatly recommend it to tone your abs&butt :P

[TigressofBalance]

i have zero oblique muscles, so i need someone to help me find a workout to get me some!!!!

[af6096]

YouTube seriously needs a loop button!!! cuz i need to repeat this a 1240981309812 times to get this right !

[shariffeinstituto]

la palabra caída de cadera esta expresada muy bien ,pero la enseñanza, esta mal es desde la cadera en estado normal, hacia abajo y no hacia arriba.

[Lynncijavier]

@latinonfire don't h8 on Shakira. she may not be the only belly dancer but she is a good one

[xpapercliche]

How effective would this be in adding definition to your obliques?

[WithinThisMe]

Where, oh, where can I find that beautiful belt?..

[TheBillibabu]

omg!! i love love love her complexion!!!! she's got an awesome body too!

[TheParadisis]

I saw a gay guy bellydance once...and it was GOOD???

[KinalaInuzuka]

@TheParadisis No one ever said belly dancing was strictly for women ;)

[dinolino35]

gay

[nikhatjahan]

hi. i just started learning belly dance. it may sound wierd but i cant even feel my obliques muscles, let alone contract them.i've been trying for quite a few days. what should i do?

[jenluv93]

All you haters... she is supposed to be explaining, it's an instructional video, duh! And she IS using her obliques. Try it and you will feel it. She does it so smooth, it looks easier than done. Try her challenge and do 100 on each side!

[asda2298]

fuck all the egyptian dancers

[MsZouzou02]

@asda2298 u dont no if u may become one if dat did happen den u just fucked urself

[mizzlinax0]

[lovegreek]

[paddlepopkid]

[Poohbearface]

NO ITS NOT STUPID

[kouyil22]

what is there shameless in this women..........you can't see anything indecent!you can only see her belly.........and her hips........why you don't have a belly??grow up man......try to live in reality

[chris98260]

li ol cnt pull my leg down rofl

[aaaali90]

where the hell is the that "oblique" muscle shes on about ?? when i try to move that muscle i just stay still! haha! seriously though is she just moving her hip up and down??

[x109256]

me too!

I think she's just pushing her hip up with her thigh. And keeping one leg straight (wich is weird i thought knees where always bent in belly dancing)

[BlackholeSuicide]

@x109256-Quote: "I think she's just pushing her hip up with her thigh. And keeping one leg straight"

umm no...she's using her Oblique muscle (located on the side of your torso) just like she said. She's pulling her hip up using that muscle, not pushing it up with her thigh.

[x109256]

@BlackholeSuicide Right thats what she told us! but it doesnt appear to be so mate

[BlackholeSuicide]

@x109256 then how come I can do it? really it's not that hard, I think you're just thinking about it too much and are therefore unable to do it.

[babykiss008]

@aaaali90 shes just pushing her luge up with her knee.

[halocharmer94]

LOL I can only do with the right side of my hip.

[cutehollz]

i cnt pull my hip up lol

[VAMPIRICROCKSTAR]

Is Egyptian bellydance the same as any belly dance?? What's the difference because it's mostly egyptian bellydance that I want to learn.

[TheGrinchgrrl16]

every country/region has it's own dance.. so, yes.. it is belly dancing..

[DaNdO0Ni]

belly dance is already egyptian

[JBfan3595]

Its is. All you do is lift up your hip pretend your hip wieghts tonnes and tonnes and you just have to lets go of it. bassically its moving ur hip up nd down

[bexxxxbecca07]

i can bellydance quite well, i just bend my knees too much...does anyone else do this? or is just me?:L x

[BULGARIANCHICK101]

i love to belly dance but honestley have the same problem as u do .. i cant follow rythum very well either can anybody help me wit diss

[iloveringyouroxie]

I dont think I am amazing at it, I just do it in my room for fun. However I do tend to bend my knees a lot. I dont know if thats a bad thing, but they always mention "Bend your knees SLIGHTLY" lol So I dont know.

[Ch0xie]

she does it soo qute

[liveguy]

my GOD! I love her.

[Poetrychic222]

The best work out (better then training in the gym0 is belly dancing.

[msbellydancagirl]

wow she is good

[sentient1705]

is it the same as pulling in and pulling out?

[karpa1997]

cant do that???

[CriCriCrysta]

my nies is 12 years old and she can do all thoughs moves very well....she belly dances

[AshleyRheiner]

These moves are not as easy as they look! I do bellydance, and it HURTS!

[wytchwhisper]

your great! these are the moves we were taught in basic bellydance good job!

[TheCabal]

omg...........  8-P~~~~~

[lexiconlover]

I think you're right, she looks more like jessica alba than britney spears but I do believe that even jessica and britney look alike to a small degree. It's just that britney looks more like a dude than jessica AND is a little "bigger". jessica has less of an hourglass fig. and doesn't look good as a blond AT ALL.

[lexiconlover]

You look like a middle eastern Britney spears

[Yuronei]

No, more like Jessica Alba...

[indianmaluji]

i'd drop release drop release hmm

[DarkAnGeLl1993]

dand IF I CUD BELLY DANCE I'D THINK I'LL BE THE SHIT!!!! LOLZZZ ;)

[sjh012055]

hmm. i'm guessing that you are trying to get revenge on someone by putting their personal info on the internet. that is catty, immature, and dangerous. if at all possible grow up and learn a bit of class. otherwise, keep your trashy tackless info to yourself.

[dalywbe]

talks a lot..

[losangel92]

yaaahh shu btetfalsafii !

[EvelynGB]

I think that's the point.

[ScudzX]

Hey.. this is dont have anything to do with Egypt..Um Egyptian and it's my first time i see this shit..by the way belly dancing is forbidden by our religion

[Superstarnl]

I dont know , but I have been in Egypt 1 day ago , arrived yesterday , and I saw the most amazing belly dancers ever, I even took some lessons , so I dont in which Egypt are u living.....

[ScudzX]

Really! cut the bullshit

[Superstarnl]

Hey listen ,

If u go to a All inclusive hotel as I did in Hurghada , hotel Garden Beach, they do give u lessons , I have pictures of belly dancers there, so If u want I send u with pleasure , u are the one who knows nothing and is bullshiting here .

[tempercita]

I thought it was only forbiddin if done in public?

[moos209]

Maaaan. Shes Mexican

[Shersai]

[PrestonLeeM]

[turtlerox123]

[bboyJIZ1]

i love that hip drop- very sexy...yummmy

[MeTooU2]

I thought she said her name was Suhira

[damnnn321]

i heard she say," MY NAME IS SHAKIRA!"

[atoosas]

sahira

[chany106]

She explained it well and did the moves well to.

[MissSilk]

I like how she explains the movement thoroughly

[wowfs]

When I get the chance to visit Texas, I'll definitely watch one of your performances; I hope you get to perform in Southeast Asia too =) Your moves are graceful and you give pretty good instructions.

[amahboss]

i will to

[tzipn]

Oh this is beautiful - the instructor makes it interesting and provocative. Good for her! She's an artist!

[coolguynice2002]

huhhhh...!! she is scorching hot!.. wish I could see her in person..!

[mjudge111]

ho lee butfuck she is hot as hell

[latinonfire]

Why do people think Shakira is the only belly dancer? Shes not even that good there are so many better dancers than her

[selenafan911]

i know huh people should look at that sadie girl shes better than shakira when someone mentions belly dancing theyre all like "o like shakira" and its very annoying

[xXxAkeboshixXx]

Personally, and most dancers would say so too, I describe Shakira to be "belly dance inspired," rather than an actual dancer. Although she DID go through professional training, mind you, she doesn't really use it as a dance in itself but more like an attachment to her music, or something along those lines.

[happydancer4]

I agree with that. Inspired by belly dance, but not sticking to it purely. It seems like the sexiest most provocative moves are what she uses, but I've only see a few videos of hers.

[ReadBelowHere]

@latinonfire WHAT? how DARE you say shakira is not even that good lol :P shakira is pretty fly. she keeps two two main styles, but there is a lot of different kinds. and because of that, there are others out there that can be more entertaining

[crazylatingirl94]

@latinonfire she's very talented. she created many of the moves herself and has her own style. true, she isn't the only one out there, but she's still great and deserves the recognition she receives.

[NiukonskaSioux]

@latinonfire I Totally Aggrree! Shakira's Not Even That Good!

[KimiKazeKun]

so thats how shakira did it @ the latin music awards *ive been trying to figure it out*

[mwade9]

i agree with u, belly dancing is the biggest dancing turn on... cuz hips dont lie ask shakira

[selenafan911]

omg shakira sucks

[seinitoasarahmila]

You are a fantastic teacher and explain everything so clearly! I am really happy I found your videos!

Yea,me!!!

[tashamia]

great. i was always curious about how to do a proper hip drop.

[hotteststud252]

i have da hardest time shimmying because i'm so skinny and my hips are narrow,but this vid heiped me alot :D

[lenefosho]

she looks like jessica alba

[AuMind]

She is such a good teacher! All the other videos on here the teachers are like Nazi's haha... Nice calm and detailed... I love this video.

[sexydracula]

this is a really good teacher. her method is so easy :)

[tube11user]

thanks for this vid! i been wanting to know how to do that!

[ZouqMaster]

good teacher

[AmazingTjik]

easyyyy-

[squint1222]

ok where can i get a private lesson because i am not getting it be watching on my puter. I try but no can do this is hard when you have very little slinkyness to your movement.

[rosszshameeka]

perfect teacher!:)

[onemorelinda]

She's my teacher! She knows her stuff!

[shaiajean]

Perfect breakdown of the move.

[yasmin867]

brilliant.. I love the fact her back is to the viewer, that way it avoids confusion.

[ReenBlom]

I like the way she sows and explains that move! Just I would like it more if the instructor was not standing with her back to the viewer! Thank you!

[neeeekolas]

oh my god she is gorgeous

[PrincessKairi102]

yah girl thats what i remeber when i belly dance
