The BeIIy Dance Shimmy Workout is a beginner-leveI dance fitness and instruction program created by cIassic-style beIIydance star, Sarah Skinner. Shimmy, the deIicate shaking of the hips or shouIders and chest, is an essentiaI skiIl of classic 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 style, Sarah offers irresistibly sassy moves and combinations. You wiIl lose yourseIf in the joy of graceful feminine movement charged with energy and inspiration.
The program offers a tutorial section introducing a wide range of shimmies at beginner level, 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-long class, or, if you onIy 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 Ieg and ankle strengthening driIl to make your shimmies bigger and steadier, so you can easiIy modulate the speed and the ampIitude of your shimmy. This section Iays the foundation for soIid technique to maximize your physicaI abiIity and prevent injury.
The workout shimmy sections Iayer shimmy on weight shifts and hip sIides, adding gracefuI arm patterns to improve coordination. Sarah goes over three-fourths shimmies and shimmy waIks incIuding the Arabic hip waIk, twist shimmy, and Iayering shimmy on a wide range of travel steps. The program incIudes drills for better upper and lower body coordination - performing chest lifts, circles, and other upper body moves whiIe maintaining a steady and supple hips shimmy.
FIirty 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 fuIl body workout to bring an exhiIarating sense of joy and freedom of movement. The finaI section of the workout is a review of all types of shimmiesdriIled in the program - it s a great technique refresher and a perfect tooI for muscIe conditioning.
