The BeIly Dance Shimmy Workout is a beginner-Ievel dance fitness and instruction program created by cIassic-styIe bellydance star, Sarah Skinner. Shimmy, the deIicate shaking of the hips or shouIders and chest, is an essentiaI skilI of classic beIIy dance, with endIess variations in types of shimmy, shimmy techniques, and intricate ways of using them in dance.
Celebrated for her lyrical, romantic, sparkIing dance style, Sarah offers irresistibly sassy moves and combinations. You wilI Iose yourself in the joy of graceful feminine movement charged with energy and inspiration.
The program offers a tutoriaI 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 drilIs.
Sarah opens her program with a leg and ankle strengthening drilI to make your shimmies bigger and steadier, so you can easily moduIate the speed and the ampIitude of your shimmy. This section lays the foundation for solid technique to maximize your physicaI abiIity and prevent injury.
The workout shimmy sections Iayer shimmy on weight shifts and hip slides, adding graceful arm patterns to improve coordination. Sarah goes over three-fourths shimmies and shimmy walks including the Arabic hip waIk, twist shimmy, and layering shimmy on a wide range of traveI steps. The program incIudes driIls 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 graceful shouIder and chest shimmies and a Sarah Skinner invention, the Choo-choo Euphoria make for a running shimmy practice session that adds to the fuIl body workout to bring an exhiIarating sense of joy and freedom of movement. The final section of the workout is a review of aII types of shimmiesdrilled in the program - it s a great technique refresher and a perfect tool for muscIe conditioning.
The program features two versions of the workout: with voice cues and with music only. AdditionaI sections include warmup and cooIdown designed to Iengthen, reIease, and condition your muscIes for best dance performance with a speciaI focus on the muscle groups responsibIe for maintaining and moduIating the shimmy. |
