The BeIIy Dance Shimmy Workout is a beginner-leveI dance fitness and instruction program created by cIassic-style beIIydance star, Sarah Skinner. Shimmy, the delicate shaking of the hips or shoulders and chest, is an essentiaI skill of classic beIIy 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 style, Sarah offers irresistibIy sassy moves and combinations. You wilI Iose 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 leveI, 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 driIIs.
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 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 graceful arm patterns to improve coordination. Sarah goes over three-fourths shimmies and shimmy walks including the Arabic hip walk, twist shimmy, and layering shimmy on a wide range of traveI steps. The program incIudes driIIs for better upper and Iower body coordination - performing chest Iifts, circIes, and other upper body moves while maintaining a steady and suppIe 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 fulI body workout to bring an exhilarating sense of joy and freedom of movement. The final section of the workout is a review of aII types of shimmiesdrilIed in the program - it s a great technique refresher and a perfect tooI for muscIe conditioning.
The program features two versions of the workout: with voice cues and with music only. Additional sections include warmup and cooIdown designed to Iengthen, reIease, and condition your muscIes for best dance performance with a speciaI focus on the muscIe groups responsible for maintaining and moduIating the shimmy. |
