Belly Dancing Moves For Beginners : How to Shimmy in Belly Dancing

[TikTokxoxo]

To anyone calling her fat: Those are called curves dumbass's. &, yes, you can still imitate bellydancing when you have no curves...but come on everyone, we all know belly dancing was made for curvy women.

[RMEdinson]

lol lol jajajajajaa

[christiangirl878]

That is truly amazing... o.o I wish I could do that!! (is trying to learn belly dancing)

[555BUTTONS]

um shes not fat..i weigh 200lbs and i belly dance have since i was in 5th grade, i mean if someone is 3 or 400 pounds i doubt they could do it....but this girl is very pretty an good she reminds me of my belly dancing instructor(:

[keishpeish]

@555BUTTONS im almost 6foot2 and 300lbs and I can belly dance. its the individual and how hard they work, Bellydancing is a skill for all of us who practice it :)

[TheLaLasProductions]

very similar to the African mapouka dance

[RawUncutTruth]

I luv this

[birdofprey321]

LOLL

[jtecs1972]

she is good...she can teach very well.

[megalillylovelasts]

Honestly, I bet people who are saying she's fat weighed more than 200 pounds at the age of 15. She's not even fat!

[crazyperson7410]

she is chubby just like meh!!!

[Xjulienalay21X]

She's not fat. She just has big hips but who cares, we're here to learn how to belly dance

[TaylorEVER1]

@vivigurlx  Most of the time. Sometimes it just helps burn calories and helps your hip movements go smoother.

[MarinaNomNom]

shes a lil wierd

[missyme1995]

Haha she's not fat. She has a NORMAL body type which is beautiful!!.. Ya'll got used to see women on the internet and mag's having a 6 year old boy's body x_x

[OMG112ify]

i can see ur belly:p  hehe

[fudgepie23]

dude, she's not even fat... wth

[BleachPenguin]

Wow, a lot of ignorant people on here. Medically speaking, she has a larger skeleton. She is not fat! If you were to grab her waist and press on it, you would feel her ribs, not fat. The larger the rib case, and wider the hips, the bigger the frame! Smaller people have smaller skeletons. Its a medical fact. Also, women weren't meant to be as small as you see them now. Its a deformity of the bones. Another medical fact. Instead of being ignorant, look into it. Sheesh.

[S7kagome101]

@BleachPenguin you awesomeee

[porkokristo]

YOU ARE FUCKING HOT.

[crazyladygun]

she's fat but its nice

[LynnettesDowry]

This is so much fun XD

[Love2TravelAway]

[MultiRandomPerson101]

[rottgirl12]

[ADragonAmongRoses]

@vivigurlx i'm not fully sure, but i know that every time we practice sit-kicks in class (this teacher calls them hip drop kicks) we always get a good burn in the abs

[SugarBear0101]

i like that scarf around her waist

[mylovejb4ever]

[mylovejb4ever]

@SugarBear0101 sorry bout dat no hard feelings right?? :)

[lewars1912]

A lot of men are great belly dancers.

[1990cupcake]

wow you people really think she is fat?

[kerlandeful]

i am not calling her fat but she can't shimmy.

[SuperChocolatie]

she is NOT FAT!!!! she is beautiful as she is!!! but her shimmy sucks :)

[tiyalittlegreen]

they are bull shits those who call her fat?????????? she is the perfect women for kerala structure i mean indian ya my respect this lady, hatts of

[thecerry888]

I DIDNT SEE . IF SHE ARE FAT.. SHE ARE LOOK SEXY.. SHE WILL LOOK FAT WHEN SHE WALK WITH THOSE SKINI LADY ... :D :D

[bobbierrobicheaux11]

I know that would be gross and yes she is perfect and so if her body!!!

[zaczaczac101]

pfft!! shes not even fat!!! -.- shes a PERFECT size :) and besides! who wants to see a bunch of bones movin around!! -.-

[adanikkita]

@zaczaczac101 i know she isnt fat and alll but im skinny and u sayin that when i moveu can see my bones!

[890luckycharms]

You guys need to get over yourselves, she's not on earth to please YOU!

[PaulinaH727]

I agree completely >:C

i know this has been put on her videos a lot but.. you have to have a BELLY to BELLY dance. i think she has the perfect body for belly dancing.<3 shes beautiful c:

[linleighmoe]

I'd love to see some skinny bitch do this! Bones won't help you here!

[heather3710]

get for real!! skinny women have a harder time belly dancing then women with curves,I should know .... last year I was 5"6 120 pds, n now 10 pds heavier and I can shake and move much more elegantly!!

[ladyjosephinelover]

@heather3710 i agree!

[MsTiberiius]

This woman is NOT fat. Bellydancing is an extremely hard and physical dancing, and it puts a lot of pressure on your stomach and middle. Actually, being a little chubbier helps you when you're bellydancing, because you actually have something to move instead of flopping around as a skinny bitch! Stop hating on this woman.. she has a lot more talent and experience than you could ever wish for.

[prettyinpink26able]

Ilove this :) I've always wanted to belly dance, but people say I'm too fat for it :(

[alanya1996]

she's fat?? you can't bellydance without curves.

[pochimolie98]

@alanya1996 Uh.. Yea u can .. I Belly Dance and I bearly got curves .. Juss sayin ..

[OttersBunny]

She isn't fat. I'd be willing to bet she is still within the BMI range of a person of her height and age. Also, in the "curvier" womens' defense, it is called "BELLY DANCING" for a reason, and not "AB DANCING". Belly dancing is a dance full of flowing movement, and reflecting that in the dancers are their curves.

[Wrykku]

@OttersBunny Lol, ab dancing..

[Lixycute]

Shimmy is so difficult =/

[sophie519]

well, she's AWESOME :D thanks!! u helped me alot!!! :D i hope ur my dancing teacher thou! :p and yet your pretty !!! :D

( those people who called her fat..look urself at mirror before you talk )

[NymphadoraBeeWolf]

ohh so jealous of her curves!!! i wish i looked like that not my chubbyness  :( , but to princesscitric it is true belly dancing doesn't work with skin and bone girls

[MADennard92]

Very helpful!

[princesscitric]

she's not fat. belly dancing doesn't work with a stick skinny girl anyways.

[Nico123Chan]

its not called SKINNYdancing! Its called BELLYdancing! Stop calling her fat, at least shes not starving herself like a lot of people do. She eats like a normal person! Leave her alone.

[meganmariiia]

Who cares about her weight? She can belly dance, isn't that what you was looking for?



[JazzyGnome27]

She isn't fat. Belly dancers are supposed to have curves, not be toothpicks. That's not at all sexy. Guys like meat, think of it that way. (:

[TheMiss977]

Dang it!! im gonna have to practice aaaloooot!!!

[ltorres1982]

this video was very helpful thank you! :)

[icaledshotgun]

Who called her fat? Her curves are quiet attractive! Ahem....!!!

[policefreakz]

lol- u look silly !

[SuperDrolli]

This is not a shimmy.

[ApricotFieldsLove]

I love the way you explain it. Thank you very much C:

[sicshoanker]

her arms are really skinny u can tell she works out...so what if she has a belly..the girl eats!!! so does everybody in this world....

[darcy5098]

wow you guys are shallow people

[darcy5098]

wow you guys are shallow people

[safwat1990]

STOP TALKING ABOUT HER NOT BEING FAT! we get it!!

[KISSMEMYFOOL69]

She is not fat at all! Whoever said shes fat is just insecure about themselves. How would you haters like it if someone insulted you? I know you wouldnt like it at all so shut up!!

[MaiaGlor]

fat???? are you fucking serious????????

[Diceisha]

real women have a body, we are designed that way, how fucking else should we be able to carry a baby without wide hips? tell me that u smart people....

[AlmiraMiaAlannah]

she's sexy! 

[rosalieangelface221]

Where in South America are you from? I was picking up Brazilian, but I could be wrong.

[Thoughtyoushouldkno]

Wtf!!! U van be an

[awesomeangel19]

according to stupid people - if ur not sopose to hav a belly THEN WHATZ THE POINT IN "BELLY" DANCING!!!!!!! for gosh saking ppl can b so stupid lolz

and anywayz great vid now i can shimmy haha lol and i lov ur accent i hav no accent :(

[flygirlzofficial]

FAT? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

[badkitty0000]

I actually really feel sorry for people that have a warped perception on what they think skinny and fat is. that just shows how bad our society is these days. the people that think she is fat will pprobably never know what true happiness within themselves is like. they will go through life thinking that happiness is a size. poor, poor brainless people.

[starr0908child]

you know what i have the same body type as her and i am a belly dancer. and i guess im fat now too!!?? this is a womens body!!!!!!! real belly dancers have a belly!!! a pooch whatever you want to call it. i cant believe ppl have to bring weight into a video thats suppose to be a positive and helpful thing!! have pll forgotten NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO!!! KOSEN RUFU!

[ladyfeind]

i don't care what the hell she looks like, but she needs to go make me a sandwich BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[sonasyed]

nice but belly dance dosent suits her coz she is ............ Wooooops sorry.

[awarren92]

She is NOT fat, if anything she is a VERY fit woman. Shut up & it's clear that she works out. Grow up! Did you come here to learn how to belly dance or just to have something negative to say?

[deathswitchblade]

i love your voice and shut up about her being fat. shes probally alot prettier than you and atleast she has curves, ass, and breast.so shut up little skinny pricks and go back to your miserable lives of throwing up. and btw, being skinny is overrated, everybody has their own looks

[TheBeautifulBB]

Agreed she has a healthy and sexy body, great lesson too thx !

[invisiblejaguar1]

lol i tired it, she's obviously an expert. i nearly fell over lol

[MZLATINELI]

@invisiblejaguar1 lol me too!!

[iluvdrsomuch]

She's Beautiful. Real women have curves :). Too many are brainwashed by society on women who are slim have to be sexy lol.

[Maryzinha0365]

@iluvdrsomuch Excuse me, real woman have a vagina. You don't need to have curves to be a woman. I'm naturally thin, not very curvy and i'm not a man, am I? You people are so rude. Saying slim is unattractive is as offensive as saying fat is unattractive. Think before you write, you're being stupid.

[XxPoizonisskiszxX]

@iluvdrsomuch Agreed!!

[TheRawrRia]

i love her accent :)

[MsVeselia]

@iCYXXHOTT you go and get yourself some spirituality in your life because you need it.how dare you write something like this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! you must be really misrable

[holguingabriela]

This is by far the best explanation on how to do a walking shimmy I have ever seen! Thank you for your contribution, you are wonderful!

[Cernunnas]

really good explanation! i like the spiritual part of it

[littlemsmuzic]

she looks like a little kid when she was walking

[speedstrengthvampire]

when ur rlly doing L-L;-L- fast u can grow to ur tip toes hahah!!! but she iss good!!

[BailarinaTrojana]

How do you breathe while doing this? >.< I'm having trouble with that...

[june9girl]

why can I do the bellyroll the first time I try bit I JUST CANT SHIMMY!!! XD and to everybody who says she's fat: she's 100% women. A woman don't must be thin and small. That's not feminine, ans especially for bellydance: you need SOMETHING to shake, isn't it?

[kelluvselgomez]

Im underweight but very curvy and I do all these steps very well, I think that any woman with any body type can perform these steps just fine.

[Devilicous911]

:( I'm underweight.. A bit difficult for me to belly dance <\3

[TheGUARDIEGIRL101]

okay i weigh 250 and im 17 and i belly dance so quit trashing "fat" dancers, ive taken ballet since i was two and i have black belt in tae kwon do since i was 4 , and im still over weight

my philosophy: big girls do it better

[ftwlvslwtf]

@TheGUARDIEGIRL101 They also die younger.

[melissashults]

for god sake i wish ppl would stop sayin shes fat shes a womens perfect weight

[FP4L1430]

@melissashults I agree with you! Shes not! Shes fine the way she is. I admire her and really good at teaching it :D

[FillionDollarSmile]

STOP SAYING SHE IS FAT ! ! !

SHE IS REALLY PRETTY !

Besides.. The people that are calling her fat are probably saying it because there insucure about their own weight !

[OhWowLovelyXx0]

@FillionDollarSmile SHES SOOOO FAT!! >.<

[darkwhitedirewolf]

Don't get the haters, she is all woman. 

[mawjood]

Niceeee

[kaytlinschipper]

You need a bit of a belly to BELLY DANCE people. -___-

[fabiooliveira73]

In Shimmy, how can i explain? Natalia Fadda, russian belly dancer, is one of the best belly dancers i ever saw do this. And that's fantastic

[ImNotAnEmoThing]

This Woman Is NOT Fat. She Has A Really Beautiful Body. No One Likes A Skinny Girl. Come On. PLEASE. ¬¬

[mikai106]

@ImNotAnEmoThing

ouch!! so no one likes me...

[michellelouis85]

on tiptoes is way easier then on flat foot

[tweakfreak87]

belly dancing is meant to celebrate the curves of a woman's body. there is nothing wrong w/ her size. i've seen bigger girls dance and they're just as graceful. if it makes you happy and good about yourself, why not do it?

[emmyyybite]

real women have curves.

rememberrr that.

[SayuriTala]

I don't like the text. It makes it hard to see the body, especially the hips, which is what is being discussed.

[ghag3]

i think her body is beautiful, healthy, perfect , a real woman body =D

[ghag3]

theres a distracting text on her !!

[davidjohana1]

Por favor, quiten el texto que no dejan ver nada.

[GeorgeSmiley77]

I can't see a darn thing because the text is in the way. What was the point in using YouTube? Video is for things you can SEE. You could have Tweeted this!

The text is unnecessary because your speech is very easily understood.

[hi6761]

first id like to say that shes not fat she has a good body and she knows what shes doing 2nd tho id like to say not all stick figure chicks are anorexic I am called twig by all my friends and people who dont know me think im anorexic but those who do know i just have a high metabolism and i was born almost the size of a preme so im just small not that im anorexic cuz i actually eat a lot great vid :) thanks for the help

[ruke22]

Yum can i have her phone number...

[bigfatdick5000]

If I am a guy, can I do the shimmy on the dance floor ?

shimmy shimmy ya ?

[canadiandcute]

Shes not fat shes wide (big boneded) when she turns sideways 1:31 you can tell how her body shape looks more than when shes facing the camera.

[myauralfixation]

She's gorgeous: she looks healthy.

[JaderGater2]

jeez give her a break so what is she has curves, just cuz she's not anorexic she's fat?

[MissTSfan]

she is fat!!!! and she doesn't have that awesome body at all

[ukrainianZAIKA]

@MissTSfan your stupid as hell.

[cattyomuppet]

@MissTSfan for fuck sake...shutup...you are the fucking reason why people have eating disorders...so go fist yourself

[jordie4fun]

this vid makes her look completely different then she does now she looks like a size 2 very fit and actually good to look at and to know that she looks that great because she does something she loves makes me feel really good i dont get that feeling when i see americas next top model but anyways thanx for the video

[alemtzamaro]

Que mal que suben videos, sin saber realmente lo que hace... no hagan caso a este video chicas...

[vanillaklau]

Esto es una burla.... por favor... no la imiten.... no hace bien un shimmy..... y los brazos... eso no es movimiento de belly dance.... please.....

[Smexy1091]

@vanillaklau y tu como sabes eh? ya lo hisiste Y!!!!! kien le importa por favor mejor guarda tus comentarios........

[goldenrosecomet]

never mind i am doing it right

[goldenrosecomet]

thx for posting this but i can shimmy my legs and tighs and stuff but not my hips wht should i do

[jennyuzzy]

she is good lookin and has got nice shape

so give it up guys.

Thanx for the help, great Video

[CanisLupus1987]

she's doing it wrong. She shouldn't use her feet to do the shimmy ( even though you can use to do other moves). The shimmy is a move that comes from the hips and knees. Anyone who uses the feet is doing it wrong.

[MebeCarlee]

A lot of belly dancers have a a little belly.

[TheRoyalMakeUp]

The ''walking'' shimmy on toes is the easiest one...

[erireece]

That was great!

And the people that are saying you need curves to belly dance?

STFU.

She has curves, and her belly is fine,

[StreetzBeatz]

i want u to make belly dance on my dick mwah

[carog1978]

not good at all !!! your feat not supose to moove !! please take some courses :-) moove your hips not your feet !!

[NikiBoBicki]

@carog1978 That is not entirely true, many styles of BD use a walking shimmy. Tribal and Gypsy both do.

Perhaps you need some courses?

lol

[RavenShadowrose]

@carog1978 The shimmy where she's on tiptoe is more American and is called a Choo Choo shimmy, it is a belly dancing move and takes quite a while to learn the balance needed. Do a little research before you comment.

[moniquewebb09]

I love her .... very natural and she's teaching not trying to be cute ... although she is ;) THX 4 tips

Oh and I think I'm better at doing the shimmy where I'm moving vs. standing still...i may be thinking about too hard

[lukex168]

lol

[thelittlestragdoll]

belly dancers HAVE to be curvy! you cant belly dance without a belly!

[allpurerandomstyle]

lol. when she said you can walk, i just had a PACMAN flashback

[MizHafHaf]

she didn't really help people understand how to do the move. ppl shouldn't diss her wieght though! she got a womans figure! besides u need a nice booty to actually bellydance well.

[SuperRomancia]

...

[nippyreigne]

yes she is really fit. She has a big frame that's why she doesn't appear to be stick thin but she is good, really

[sxcNaomiie96]

your really good but im sorry i didnt exactly get how to shimmy your hips

[MsTaylorswiftrocks]

She did it really good but she didn't help me learn it

[chehak9]

it's not the best! my god!!!

[Marcelaivett]

ayy dios mio ke horrorrrr

[39Bosski]

Who says she's not fit? She's got the shape of a real woman, not one of those hollywood sticks that have young girls barfing up their lunch so they can look like that. And she's a good dancer to boot!

[twins1arethebest]

Yes exactly. :)

[agataAgatha]

@39Bosski I agree i think for what i can imagine her age to be i think she is beautiful. 

[Euipoi]

@39Bosski Amen to that.

[PhilologyFTW]

@39Bosski Yeah, she's fit enough, bt don't bring bulimics and anorexics into this. There is no "real woman", idiot.

[SingingUnnie]

@39Bosski Yes, let's insult mentally ill women while still dictating how women should look, that's not counterproductive or hypocritical at all you fucking tosspot.

[39Bosski]

@SingingUnnie toss your own fucking pot you nimrod. you know what I meant and don't act like you don't.

[missEm2o9]

shes gud!

[soph4484]

does it matter how she looks anyway??- she can dance an is tryin to help.. y r people obsessed, its not like she's tryin to be a model!

[JonasCrazy1011]

This is extreamly un helpful

and shes not very fit for a belly dancer

[Dementrius]

hahahahah! oh dear XD

[MZHEMSKY83]

[susysusysusysusysusy]

OMG

[edwardsmylover]

O.O...

[babemillionaire]

[tiffanydiva]
