⁉️Knee Shimmy vs. Hip Shimmy — Part 1 of Our Egyptian Style Bellydance Workshop ✨💃

📣Today's topic:
Knee Shimmy vs. Hip Shimmy

Many dancers think a shimmy comes from the hips, but in authentic Egyptian style, the magic often starts from the knees. The subtle alternating knee action creates that effortless vibration in the hips that Egyptian dancers are known for.
🔥 Today we learned:
✔ Proper Egyptian shimmy mechanics
✔ Isolation & body awareness
✔ Elegant arm placement
✔ Traveling shimmies
✔ Choo-choo shimmies
✔ 3/4 shimmies
✔ How to create a shimmy—not force one

Thank you to everyone who showed up & chose technique over simply "shaking it"! 😉

See you in Part 2, where we'll continue turning vibrations into art. 💃🌙

💃 Bellydance Myth Busted: You Don't Need B***s to Do a Shoulder Shimmy!

⁉️Question of the Day:

Student: "I can't shake my b***s because I don't have b***s!"

Me:📌What you're seeing is actually a" shoulder shimmy". The chest movement is just a reaction to the shoulders moving quickly and alternately. The real work comes from the shoulders—not from the b***s!
In this video, we're doing a shoulder shimmy with traveling steps, focusing on coordination, rhythm, & technique.

So don't worry about cup size—great shimmies come from practice, not b***s! 😉✨

📌CAMEL MOVEMENT: IS IT REALLY ABOUT CHEST OR THE PELVIS? 👇👇👇

⁉️Teach Jhuv- :"What is the correct ex*****on take on how to perform the camel movement?
Is there a right & wrong as in I notice some belly dancers start with the chest movements & some perform only with hips & pelvis movement?"

📌👉ME: CAMEL/ BODY ROLL/ and yes- you often hear me say UNDULATION :)
As a teacher, I find that my approach sometimes depends on the student's level & how they best understand movement. For beginners,I may initially use chest movement as a visual or teaching tool to help them feel the flow of the "undulate". Once they become more aware of the movement pathway, I gradually guide them to isolate & practice the pelvis movement.I also learned from different teachers over the years, and I was taught in various ways. But as my understanding deepened, I realized that the essence or intention of the undulation comes from the pelvis. The chest may appear to respond naturally as part of the body's kinetic chain, but the driving force is really the pelvic action.
So while different teaching methods can be helpful depending on the student, my personal understanding is that the "undulation" is fundamentally a pelvis-driven movement. 😊

📢The real test?

I let you pick your own song and create your own combo — because copying is easy, understanding is talent. ✨

I’m genuinely proud of your progress, Erica Mae Bienes Pangatungan 👏🏻👏🏻 . You’re starting to understand the movement instead of just copying it — and that’s where real dance begins.

Keep showing up, keep growing, & keep learning. 💃

Now the question is… who’s next? 🤭

📢WHAT I’M NOT AFRAID TO ADMIT ✨

There was a time when I thought wearing a bellydance costume was enough to call myself a" bellydancer".

👇But looking back now, I can honestly admit… I still lacked rhythm, flow, confidence, & graceful transitions. I loved the art, but I had not yet fully understood it.

Everything changed when I decided to take formal classes & proper training from Al-Raqesa Academy . That experience humbled me & opened my eyes to how deep & beautiful bellydance truly is- Thanks to my Teacher Arjae - with you , I learned that grace is not something you magically wake up with.
It is built through consistency, discipline, repetition, patience, & showing up even when you feel tired, unmotivated, or not improving fast enough.

🩰📌And this is something I always remind my students:
your growth does not depend on talent alone.

✅Your teacher can guide you, correct you, and share knowledge — but real improvement also depends on you.
On your willingness to train.
💫To practice.
💫To listen.
💫To keep showing up.

Because every class you attend, every drill you repeat, & every moment you push through discomfort becomes part of your transformation.

📢No one becomes graceful overnight.

Even the dancers you admire today once struggled with timing, posture, transitions, confidence, and musicality. The difference is… they did not quit.

💗So to my students:
keep showing up.
Even when progress feels slow.
Even when you feel awkward.
Even when you think you’re not improving.

✨ One day, you will look back and realize how far you’ve come — and you’ll thank yourself for not giving up.
