[JaderGater2]

Gah, I'm so confused. Do you move your heels off the ground?!

[MCgirlxoxo]

@JaderGater2 When youre moving them slowly from side to side( like a wave) your heels are off the ground. But when youre just shaking your hips like this than no.

[175gemini]

[01doglover]

[smailib]

What are the feet doing in this? Heels on the floor or do they raise with the knees?

[xxxSakuraxKonekoxxx]

My friend told me that if you have something on that makes a sound, like a bell, on while your trying to move your hips it helps.

[gbuchanan6]

[xxxWUVZHORSESxxx38]

[Suriname30]

[MiissBeee]

i think she's good, but she ISNT good at teaching us how to do it.

[StraightEdgeReviews]

LOL WUT??????

[iforgotmyname4]

[EGT4499]

@BoysRtoys12 What have curves anything to do with belly dancing?? Geez!!!!

[davidjohana1]

Pienso que es aburrido que no dejen ver el video completo por colocar unas indicaciones que se pueden realizar mirando solo el video. Por favor, quitenlos.

[davidjohana1]

No entiendo porque colocan estos subtitulos que borran completamente la imagen

Antes no estaban, qué pasó?.

[GeorgeSmiley77]

REMOVE THAT STUPID TEXT OR USE TWITTER INSTEAD OF YOUTUBE.

[laekyncola]

gay

[coconutblondie1]

Why do people always assume that bellydancers are right up there with erotic dancers and strippers? Belly Dancing is an ART, not just some kind of entertainment for men. When will people start appreciating it for what it is?

[kibble550]

@coconutblondie1 i gotta agree with u on that...

[gonewithrain]

Keep practicing! My belly dancing instructor told me that a very good shimmy could take up to 5 years to perfect. It may feel funny at first but the more you practice the better!

[mrssmeeks]

i dont think im doing it rite

i felt retarded

[82I7N3YF3425]

Lol, too thin, too big. What's wrong with you guys?

[Dirasha95]

@ClaireliciousSweet  is that really necessary?

[ClaireliciousSweet]

@Dirasha95 sorryyy it is(:

[ayele1998]

[misskaurable]

[shastapie101]

[1tigerblood]

thanks for cant learn hips moving

[Lumenesk]

Dam, i can't do this.

[yourlilchinagirl]

Thanks for posting this video on how to do a proper hip shimmie. Very nicely executed. - Imei

[microwitchvoodooyou]

Her moves are clearly perfect, I actually see the movement, she is not an erotic dancer but a Belly Dancer. Their is a difference between a Belly Dancer and a erotic dancer. She is the perfect teacher.Her husband must truly be happy!

[sweetdarkthea]

she talks like like a robot and doesn't open her jaw and strares emotionlessly

[bigsisterskittles33]

She's good..Go head girl...She need to teah me some moves like that..

[MsAmandaxx]

faster faster xD lol

[tantrum994]

she needsa shape some curves r sumthin

[mysusie6]

she's not bad but she could be better

[thechannel09]

good dancer, but she has no curve. :[

[throwitoutlikerice]

yeah she's a bit wiry.

[maximaro123]

Hmm i think she is good ?

[LonerlovezL]

EXCUSE you everybody, she so happens to be one of the best (if not, THE best) bellydancer in Maryland! Stop judging her!

[killphaser25]

lol...is she teaching us how 2 dance or is she TRYING 2 teach us one.??

[Esmiralda1990]

she has a very ugly body!! for a bellydancer

[xxtony2oo8xx]

do´t jes i love you

[theXcrackheads]

She's doing it right she just.

A. has no curves

and

B. Doesn't have much to shake...

[uzernam302]

@theXcrackheads i'm sure she appreciates you sticking up for her.. yep.. sure that was a compliment.. in there.. somewhere.. lol

[Theconspiracy777]

@theXcrackheads and shes how old and doesnt have any curves XD

[tyshawngaines]

she is too thin, its very hard to notice the movement

[INFERZIKEN]

my mom knows how to belly dance (she gets really sweaty). its also hard to learn at first but when you get the hang of it you can do it very easiely! :D

[radia59]

UGLY BELLY!!!

[MsBeeChina]

She's just thin with small hips. She's doing it right. Geez, give her a break.

[lovesorange95]

i can do so much betterr.

lol she looks like a retard.

[xXxbeberosexXx]

AY YALL can jus come ova n ill teach u guys fo free shyttt lmao

[lukethebreaker]

hahahahahahah... i can do it better than her.... nd im a guy.... lmao...

[xXxbeberosexXx]

lmao i bet u can hahahah

lmfao...

[ZeffrixSidekixEvix]

any bellydance instructor will tell you that's not a hip shimmy. when you move with your knees, you end up limiting the shimmy to your butt. that's why it looks like she's hardly moving. with a real hip shimmy, you'll want to use your thigh muscles to move the outer sides of your hips up and down, as opposed to moving them from side to side, which is really just hip slides. she almost had it before she started moving faster.

[brznebmbshll1]

i think shes just has no hips to shake. her body is straight i mean pin straight. kind of like how girls with bigger butts look better dancing to urban music that girls with none even if they are doing the same thing.

[lidoflower]

ahaha yea i agree

[jessgurl1996]

She sooooooooo cant belly dance!!! WTF she sucks!

[sexyJasmine44]

okayy she cant even do it

[lolo7778]

What do you mean she cant do it? Thats what it looks like

[LebaneseBoyDance]

ummm...that's how its done..it just doesnt look that good on her coz her stomach is very muscled up..other belly dancers have slightly more fat in that area so when they shimmy they basically shake everything. she doesnt! but that's the basic technique

[LikeOitsMaKeUpByKiki]

yea she is doing it right, its just harder to tell on her becuase she has no curves as to someone who does.

[eloquent3pimp]

DATS A GREAT POINT

[cheergirlsxoxo]

she has a big forehead!

[rstar08me]

this thing is hard!

[edstella]

The stiffness is not too bad since she has to isolate the movement to show us how to do it. Man, it's hard though!

[0oNinjagirlo0]

damn that's hard! xD

[browsin23]

i am trying this with the bellydance outfit my husband bought for me from egypt.

Boy does it work the legs too! alot of bellydancing comes from the legs believe me!

[BellyDanceNewbie82]

Actually, there are different schools of thought about belly dance. Some people (including myself) think that if your dancing comes from the legs, you will hurt your back. I subscribe to the school of thought that the hip movement should be initiated from the glut muscles.

[evilprincess6]

I wonder where did she get that belt??

that shiny thingy that everybody uses to belly dance??

[DDDtheVegetarian]

Oh you can get those almost anywhere :) Indian stores.. Foreign ones, usually the ones that have to do with the middle east. But i warn you, they're really expensive!!

[sadisticmaniac3698]

In NYC, they sell really cheap low quality scarf things that look similar to that belt for about $5.

[liviq]

yes, shes too stiff

[egyptluva1]

she's very pretty just a lil stiff for this type of dance

[halliezmandy]

awsome
