@Icooka4u- look to the bottom right corner of the video. see the little box with the "cc" on it? click that and the captions should clear out :)

[Icooka4u]

The words/instructions are visually obstructing the entire video. How can I fix this to see the video?

[sandalitospa]

I do not like, then upload the video as you subscribe and you can not see

[cheeesiesushi]

i need help with this, i know how to shimmy but when i do, the "jiggle" goes to my butt >__> is there like a certain stance i can do to make it go to my stomach?

[8zayka]

@cheeesiesushi the jiggle goes to your butt because you are doing your shimmy correctly (by releasing the tension in the hips until there is no tension there). A very good way to practice Egyptian Shimmies is to bend down over your toes and start bending your knees back and forth from there. Then as you are doing that, slowly rise up to a regular shimmy standing upright. Doing that while you're bent over helps you to practice the movement correctly :-)

[panchito812]

@anansh1 HUH?

[jimochocha]

when she makes the faster shimmy tahts not egyptian, the egyptian onñly moves on the hips..

[shannongrim123]

i am lovin learning..muscles sore but i think i'll have that nice soft belly like hers by sept

\

[natvega15]

aaawww:) she nice

[jesusiseverything2me]

Just remember folks, that there are different styles of belly dance. Cabaret style in all of it's various forms, generally involves dancing on releve (on your toes) and shimmies from the knees. However, I am a tribal belly dancer ... we BELLY dance, meaning that our shimmies, like ALL of our lower body movements are in a very bent knee position and come from the hips/belly at the core of the movement!

[XxDeathxofxDawnxX]

holy crud i did it... O.O

[TheSweetGirl37562]

You, critisising her body, stop it! She's beautiful, and she's just trying to teach you something.

[skittlesareyum48]

@TheSweetGirl37562 and she's beautiful!... Oh wait you said that.

[BabydollNiNi]

I can do it actually I've been doin it I just never knew what it was called,lol

[bigpapapapa]

my girlfriend use to do this move in bed..... she's now my wife.

[Hoodulm]

LOL!! good for you!

[bigpapapapa]

that was 2 weeks ago, she's now my ex and I pay child support. Damn that move!

[InfamousBeauty16]

haha :)

[bigbrownie51]

its weird i dont see a camera man in the mirror

[VivienCutino]

yeahh u right;-)

[AnnaKin]

I can't get it! Agh! I move my knees too much! I'll have to practice this one a lot.... :(

[rowdybliss]

You're supposed to be moving your knees - shimmy is ALL in the knees. It's not supposed to come from your hips. Move your knees back and forth, like she says, and the rest will follow - and don't worry, you'll get it! :)

[Jordaniq]

How I can download this, thank u

[unforgiven26]

i swear if someone came up to me and did that or any belly dancing...i would marry her....its such beautiful movements

[lilmizz16]

LOL

[edwardfreak200]

well, i'm a pro at belly dancing...lol :)

[CaNiKo89]

I'm not arrogant, but i can also dance like this. It's very easy, you just have to exercise.

[Melegim77]

Hey sunshine saw a show this morning exercise and teaches b dance. You dont need instruction because you have allllll the right moves love ;) goes fairly slow through classic arabic moves maybe too slow.

[gogeFemboy]

shakira shakira

[capslockenter]

she is soooooooo hot

[xNoUsernamexLOL]

yay the only move i can do in belly dancin. lool. XD

[love4ferrets]

[xNoUsernamexLOL]

well im gettin the snake arm thin too.

i took classes but its kinda hard so i gave up. lol. even tho its fun n really nice its jus too hard.

when u see the dance teacher doin it so fast u think ill never learn tht so whts the point. lol. =P

[love4ferrets]

ya i can do the snake arm. my teacher teaches us pieces so its not hard. too bad you gave up =(

[xNoUsernamexLOL]

well i hvent given up completely. jus hve too much to do. once im free ill start again. its one of my fav dances so i hve to learn it. well at least the basics. lol. (:

i practise a lot at home from the classes ive taken. i still remember the moves n ive actually improved. haha. =D

[love4ferrets]

haha keep going.

[S3Xii001]

biçim ';sdy biçim

[jinniyang]

good,the basic shimmy is important~!

[lili9000c]

what screws me up is how to shimmy and do other moves at the same time! lol

it's hard..

[Naoufalitos24]

easy

[xXxYourFaceBitchxXx]

I would like Didem to teach how to shimmy. She has the most amazing shimmy! Sometimes she moves so amazing it looks almost as if her body is creating the music. lol

[TLT1020]

She said egyptian style, so that's why black women that dance do that move. It's in their culture from their Egyptian ancestors.Note: The real egyptians are brown skinned not light skinned.This is not about color, it's only the truth.

[HaniShau87]

Yes thats true. But most arabs are not lightskinned either some are becuase of the french emperialism and so on many u see on arab television are also the lighter ones u know they have that colorism (that I also think exists in the black community). Im arab but i think arab and black girls dance the best when it comes to hip movements and such

[TLT1020]

Right on HaniShau87, Right on!!

[chany106]

Cool.

[JennelleBelle]

u dont have to bend ur knees to shimmy. real dancers do it the what i call 'bootcamp' way...its all by moving ur hips side to side without moving ur knees. fifi abdo did it this way.

[keziasharp]

this is easy

[atoosas]

depends on what you mean by "easy."

I could always do the side to side shimmy--no problem. I noticed lots of people have a hard time with that.

But I am still workiing on getting the up/down shimmies. It's been a challenge for me, whereas most people seem to get it right away.

[garcias1]

I watched several of your lessons and I'd just like to say you are by far the best at explaining and breaking down the movements. Very profesional. (sigh) I wish my area had teachers like you.

[23jaydee23]

OMG i cddo that all along

Just didnt think it was a real dance mover

[summer9380]

so are the feet flat on the floor while you do that ?? and are the knees bent ?

[gary4curo]

nice!

[McDrinky]

I love you.

[Tricksterknight]

at one point in the explanation looks like she is doing the basic steps for Merengue. lol.

[atoosas]

I think I'm finally learning to shimmy, after like, eight months of inconsistent lessons.

But for me, when I do it fast, it goes out of my knees and into my hips. Is that correct?

[kamiradancer]

yes, the faster you go, the less movement is in your knees, or rather, your knees are not moving as far out as when you do it slowly

[ifatlady1012]

it doesn't work for me! :(

[dancingfinn67]

I know what you mean ;) try another teacher: Belly dance basic from kimbrgsm1. I just love Sahira but the other teacher is having more time for moves.

[atoosas]

OK, I think I got it.

First of all, it takes practice. Lots of practice.

Second of all, what I found was that your posture has a lot to do with this. For me, I was leaning too much in my knees, so mine were slow. One day, I figured out that when I lean forward a bit and take the weight off my legs, I can shimmy faster.

Try experimenting with it.

[DarkBeautyDepp]

jessica alba:)

[pazzerella2000]

hahahaha! right! very similar!!

[JanePstar]

it's really scary, sense i was 10 I could do that. I dont know why. My friends dared me to do it at a dance party with all these guys, it was a dance off. i went in the middle and did it when i was 10. All the guys stared at my butt! lol, shakira is a good belly danceer

[ganonsahdongwas]

skinnybeanshel aww that is so awesome that u teach this i teach my friends how to belly dance.

[BestThingHapenin]

4THIS SHIT SUCKS

[smellyhippi]

looks like shes lip sinking

[aurora7193]

belly dancing is amazing and very traditional there is nothing sluty about it. on another subject!.... i have been belly dancing for a year now and i still cant shimmy this video helps .. alot..... very much so!!!

[isisrosalinde]

No, they are not all sluts. I am a bellydancer, am married, and have been dancing for four years. Bellydancing is a respectable form of art. Please educate yourself before you make berating posts on something you don't know about.

The instructor in the video gives a great and coherent breakdown on the shimmy. She has good technique as well. Great video, overall.

[PurrrGatorI]

@isisrosalinde

Well said, hon! Kudos!!

[anuls]

needs t6o bbe ackswla belly dancing

[flakis69]

i think is good but I did not see her feet how she move them but is a good video thanx for this tutorial a lot of kissesss

[poplife21]

Well she said you're feet aren't moving, so there is no reason to see her feet.

[yb15]

your feet do not move at all when doing a shimmy, they stay firmly on the ground.

[FAMILYGUY1212]

i have been belly dancing for a year now and i still cant shimmy :'( is there anyone that can explain it better!! i kinda get what she is doing but when ever i try to shimmy i tense up and i cant :(

[atoosas]

That may be becauseyou're thinkig about it too much. Don't think about it. Just do it. That's what my teacher says.

[aurora7193]

im familyguy1212

the belly dance ting was my sister useing my account.

[indigothecat]

I just belly dance a little bit for fun, but I can shimmy. :)

You have to keep the movements very short and small. Don't focus on making the movement big and definite, just small shakes.

Think of it as a controlled variation of knocking and shivering your legs and knees.

[sugababy206]

LIZZIE THIS IS 4 U!!!!!

[amaria7]

Egypt shimmy is that when ur al body is shaking.And it depend on where is ur weight: shake your all back-or all bottom of with duble chin too :)), but u could do it smaller. What u do it is something like that...

[TempestChan]

This is nice to see. I get alot of people asking me exactly how the shimmy works-its nice to find tutorials in other communities (non-dance specific) that explain it in a simple way!

[GhettoGurkl]

I looove doing shimmy's!

But my legs were moving to much, so thanks for that!!!

[afarm]

nice video! makes it easier to understand
