Let's talk math and level up your belly dance technique while breaking a sweat!

Did you know that a 3/4 shimmy and a triplet shimmy are NOT the same thing?

This is one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to shimmies. So often the fast triplet shimmy is broken down as a slow three-quarter shimmy, which leads to dancers feeling twitchy and frantic when they try to ramp it up to speed.

Since I was an engineer before I was a belly dancer all of this math means something to me! And even if math is not your thing, knowing the difference between these two shimmies will be a game-changer for your practice.

In this video, I will take you through the details of a well-crafted 3/4 shimmy, the difference between a 3/4 and a triplet (and why that may have messed you up in the past) and how to actually make a true 3/4 shimmy happen cleanly and with control.

We will practice and drill the movement slowly, eventually ramping up the speed to work our muscles and our stamina.

Are you ready to sweat?

Let's dance!
