How to Do the Shimmy Hips Move in Belly Dancing

Hi! My name is Naimah, and on behalf of Expert Village, I will now demonstrate hip shimmies. You want to begin by slightly bending the knees, and you’re going to use your knees to pump your hips. So, you’re bring right hip, left hop, right hip left hip. You want to make that faster, so we’re going to move that up to half time. Then to full time, so then finally you have a shimmy going. Your knees are pumping as fast as they can. That ends are segment on hip shimmies. For more information on belly dance and me, Naimah, you can visit my website at naimahraks.com. That’s NAIMAHRAKS.com.
