2 Learn hip slide

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

LOL. Glad I could, um, help? Maybe?

[AlexCzervic]

Damn it!

This video has cost me $1,000's. I can't even get the ball off the ground now, smothered hooks. Anyways, my back feels great, good core work.

Thanks?

[appaloosa40]

great vid. I looked for a long time for one that actually taught this move instead of just performing it and repeating "slide slide slide..." lol. Thank you!!

[michaelwhourican]

Amira, do you recommend pushing off with the right foot to initiate the hip slide? By the way, I love the outfit. So much better than plus fours and a tweed cap.

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

@michaelwhourican I've joked about doing a funny hip slide video involving golf since so many people end up here by accident. Now you've inspired me to do the video in dorky golf attire. Now I just need to find someone to let me borrow some dorky clothes.

[Nautilus1972]

Can we see it with the club now please ?

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

@Nautilus1972 I just may do that, lol!  What a funny video that would make!

[kehlmeier]

I'm here too for golf. haha.

[chaseybears]

so ....what iron do you do this with?

Holly shit...i cant move like that, Im giving up golf!

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

@chaseybears This is a whole new twist on golf that you never knew existed!

[pfflyers1]

Yep me too ....... looking for golf tip

.....Although I enjoied your video throughly : )

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

@pfflyers1 LOL That's funny how many people are finding this video while looking for golf tips.

[TheDistilledMan]

Watching this made me remember Homer looking at the Lumber king advert: "Lumber, I need lumber". Incidentally this helped my golf swing not one iota, shame on you for the blatant false advertising.

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

@TheDistilledMan Funny that you watched it after realizing it was NOT GOLF! So shame on your for watching belly dance when you were supposed to be watching golf, lol!

[flyingreddoghouse]

uh I was trying to find golf videos of hip sliding - i liked the typewriter move !

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

@flyingreddoghouse That seems to be happening to people once in a while. I doubt this video is going to help your golf swing, lol. It cracks me up that people looking for golf actually watch this. Maybe they're hoping I'm doing golf swings in a belly dance outfit.

[rockthekasbox]

So that's why you talk funny! Isn't there a sound about west Virgina? something about Home?

A ton! of them sound great! plenty of opportunity

to bump into one. which me luck.

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

You making fun of how I talk! Come on now, sing along: Take me home, country roads, to the place where I belong, West Virginia... Yes, if you're in CA, there's definitely much opportunity to run into lots of belly dancers. Good luck with that!

[rockthekasbox]

No me no, makey fun you. I like you. talk. very sexy.That was me bad Asian imitation.OK here goes the sing along. Oh no my dog just ran out of the room. I guess that I shouldn't try to sing.

Thanks for sharing was great fun wish you the best . I will stop by from time to time to watch your videos and maybe even comment .

[rockthekasbox]

I am in Redwood City California

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

I'm in West Virginia, so I don't know much about California, but I do know there are a ton of belly dancers out there!

[rockthekasbox]

I know with just a little practice that this is going to help my Golf swing.

Just from watching it once I feel that I am on to be a better swinger.

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

Better swinger huh? Wasn't what I was going for, but okay! Funny!

[rockthekasbox]

Glade that you you liked it. Don't know anything about what it is that you are teaching but it would seem that you got it down to a fine science, at least as far to the right and left goes Einstein would be proud Ha ha just kidding. You are a very good teacher; keep up the goood work. Society needs more love.

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

Cracks me up that people find this while looking for golf. Must be quite amusing to them.

[rockthekasbox]

Golf has been know to put me to sleep watching videos on u tube was a nice change. Did get me to sit up and pay attention to what was sliding in front of me. made me think that I would like to know more about this and where I could go to watch more of this wonderful art? Any ideas?

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

Belly dance is everywhere now days. What city/state are you in?

[anahitaonly]

your techniques seem so easy and simple, that I do believe I shall be able to dance soon. Do you have the full techniques or where can I have all the movements. thank you

[jiggly566]

this isnt golf.....sweet

[cockywatchman1976]

It's because a key component of the golf swing is a latteral hip movement, also know as a hip slide. It starts the downswing!!!! Also know as the Hogan power move!

You do it much sexier though!

[cockywatchman1976]

Wow-Im here for golf too!

This is hot. I'd love to have a session of this with you! You are lovely!

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

Golf, seriously, now multiple people are finding this video when they're looking for golf. That's funny!

[shannonlollipop101]

haha i i thought you were fake

[0211098921]

loooooooooooooooool

[ghagus]

I thought this was hip slide in golf swings, but obviously I was wrong. Sexier than a golf swing though. :-)

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

Oh, that's funny. Not at all what you expected!

[clh1993]

i lub your melos :D! r u on tribe(dot)net?

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

Melos are the best! Yep, I'm on tribe. Just look for Amira.

[samir1992]

Do you have anorexia?

[OldWorldRentals]

Are you serious! I wish you could see me in person because I'm actually quite an average size.

[magicalxleopluradon]

thankyou

thats reassuring

i think if i do it for a while then i might get it

i hope..

lol thanx again

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

You're very welcome!

[halliezmandy]

I used to not know how to bellydance a few weeks ago but now by watching everyone else I'm advanced.

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

I'm glad your learning so much!

[magicalxleopluradon]

lol thanx.

i think there is something wrong wid me coz they just wont :(

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

They will! It may take some time to get them to do what you want. So many muscles that you use in belly dance are not developed yet and just need time to develop! Don't give up.

[magicalxleopluradon]

i really cant move my hips lol how do i make then go

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

Put your hand on the side of your hip and push it til it goes! ;-)

[halliezmandy]

keep practicing I was like you a few weeks ago now I'm a pro

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

I'm glad to hear you've been practicing!  It's fun to practice and see your own improvements!

[ruttituttita]

fantastic lessons! thanks!! xx

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

You're very welcome!

[trikkijr]

i love your pants!!!!

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

Thanks! They're Melodia pants. You can get them at her ebay store.

[samitolindo]

hi! my husband found your videos and I love them, I practice at home whith my 4 year old daugther and we enjoy it a lot.:) Thank you

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

You're very welcome!

[foojoy69]

Thanks! I'm going to practice. But when I look in the mirror it seems that my hips are going up. How do you pull them down. Let me know when you get a chance.

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

Your hips will have a tendency to go up, so you have to push down slightly as they go out to keep them level. If you noticed that, then I know you're really paying attention and trying to get it precise. You'll have it in no time!

[foojoy69]

OK, I have a question. When you move your knees to the left are your hips going to the right or do they follow the knees? Thank you.

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

Don't make an effort to move your knees, they just go along for the ride. Focus on the movement of your hip. When your hip is out to the right, your knees will also move to the right. They will follow your hips.

[AmiraFromSamadhi]

No, you don't push with your legs. Your knees should be bent the whole time and your knees just kind of sway left and right. Just push your right hip out to the right side and then your left hip out to the left side. You'll feel it stretch through your sides.

[entropy9]

do you use your legs to push left an dright?

[aggarwald2002]

simple,graceful & easy to learn
