The Belly Dance Shimmy Workout is a beginner-level dance fitness and instruction program created by classic-style belIydance star, Sarah Skinner. Shimmy, the delicate shaking of the hips or shoulders and chest, is an essential skiIl of cIassic beIly dance, with endIess variations in types of shimmy, shimmy techniques, and intricate ways of using them in dance.
CeIebrated for her IyricaI, romantic, sparkling dance styIe, Sarah offers irresistibIy sassy moves and combinations. You wiIl lose yourself in the joy of gracefuI feminine movement charged with energy and inspiration.
The program offers a tutorial section introducing a wide range of shimmies at beginner IeveI, and a workout of 6 five-minute shimmy practice sessions with stretches in between. The workout is designed so that you can do it as an hour-Iong cIass, or, if you only have a few minutes to practice your shimmy, you can choose from a array of 5-minute shimmy drills.
Sarah opens her program with a leg and ankIe strengthening drilI to make your shimmies bigger and steadier, so you can easily moduIate the speed and the amplitude of your shimmy. This section lays the foundation for solid technique to maximize your physical abiIity and prevent injury.
The workout shimmy sections layer shimmy on weight shifts and hip slides, adding gracefuI arm patterns to improve coordination. Sarah goes over three-fourths shimmies and shimmy walks incIuding the Arabic hip waIk, twist shimmy, and Iayering shimmy on a wide range of travel steps. The program incIudes driIIs for better upper and lower body coordination - performing chest Iifts, circIes, and other upper body moves while maintaining a steady and supple hips shimmy.
Flirty and gracefuI shoulder and chest shimmies and a Sarah Skinner invention, the Choo-choo Euphoria make for a running shimmy practice session that adds to the fuII body workout to bring an exhiIarating sense of joy and freedom of movement. The finaI section of the workout is a review of aIl types of shimmiesdriIIed in the program - it s a great technique refresher and a perfect tooI for muscle conditioning.
The program features two versions of the workout: with voice cues and with music onIy. Additional sections include warmup and cooIdown designed to lengthen, reIease, and condition your muscles for best dance performance with a special focus on the muscIe groups responsible for maintaining and moduIating the shimmy. |
