Shoulder Shimmy Belly Dance Move

Video Transcript

"Now. let's break down the Shoulder Shimmy. First we're going to make sure our feet are facing straight ahead. Our knees are bent, our belly button's pulled in to our spine, our chest is lifted and shoulders back down and relaxed. Arms will be held out away from the body. So now, keeping the lower body still, we're going to angle the right shoulder forward and then the left. Now be careful as you do this move, not to lift the shoulder and lose your neck space. You want to keep your neck nice and long. So we're just sliding forward and back. So the shoulders stay level, they don't go up and down. So forward and back. Forward and back. Make sure your belly button's pulled in. Keep everything nice and still. Let's try it with some music. Five, six, seven, eight. And forward, and back, and forward, and back. Good. Belly button's pulled in. Chin is lifted. And let's try that double time. And one, two. One, two. One, two. One, two. Make sure your hands aren't moving in space. Good. Keep them nice and still like they're on a door frame in front of you. And double time again. And one, two; one, two; one, two; one, two; one, two; one, two; one, two; one, two; one, two; one, two. Keep it going. Smile."
