Yes, how do u get ur shimmys (esp walking shimmys) so precise?

[beledigrrl]

@RimahVideo19 When it comes to traveling shimmies, a great place to start is the 3/4 shimmy. It's a wonderful way to travel across the stage :)

Hi I was just curious if you were going to post anymore videos dancing,I love your grace in movement:)

[beledigrrl]

[beledigrrl]

Thank you so much! I discovered Mapouka this year when I was browsing Youtube for Saida Karoli videos and I fell in love with the dance form right away :)

I watched three of your videos. You are great a inspiration to all women. What is the name of the type of belly dance style you dance, and how long have you been dancing? What made you start?

@africangoddess707 HA, its in our DNA....although we were stripped from our homeland, we NEVER stopped being African. There are far too many misunderstandings, misconceptions, about Americans of West African descent. We are portrayed as complete buffoons throughout the mass media outlet. We are more than just the ignorance you see on tv and on the news and out in the street.

Ignorance is judging something that you have little or no experience of. Assumptions...preconceived notions, unbox me...
