Are you ready to jazz up your shimmies with a layer? My name's Karen and this is Johanna, and we're with Hip Expressions Belly Dance Studio, in Saint Petersburg, Florida. We're going to add a pelvic drop and tuck to our shimmy. Make sure you practice the two moves separately before putting them together to make sure they're nice and clean. Let's have our feet slightly apart, belly tucked in, knees are soft, and let's pull in, or tuck and release. Release and tuck, release and tuck, good. Make sure those heels are pressed into the floor. Keep that chest lifted; keep your shoulders relaxed, good. Now let's get our shimmy going. Make sure it's nice and strong and even, not a vibration, but a nice countable movement. So drop and tuck, and drop and tuck, and drop and tuck. Make sure it stays within your body line; that you don't get it out here. So, keep it nice and neat. Drop and tuck, and drop and tuck, very good. Keep breathing. Keep it nice and even. Practice this in the mirror, and you too will have a nice, jazzy looking drop and tuck in your shimmy.
