Are you ready to add some sexy layers to your shimmy? Let's work on a nice upper body movement.
My name's Karen, and this is Johanna. We're with Hip Expressions Belly Dance Studio in
St. Petersburg, Florida. Let's do a chest move, that's a horizontal circle. Let's review
that first, before we add it to our shimmy. Have your feet slightly apart, knees are bent,
bellies tucked in, and we're going to lift our chest in the front, bring it to the side,
bring it center, and around and forward. Keep it out there to the side, then center and
side. Forward, and side, center, and side. So, your ribs are going to move under your
shoulders. So, you're going to have a nice circle there. Good. Now, let's get our shimmy
going. Let's put the two together. So, let's go, front, side, center, side, front, side,
center, side. Good. Make sure those heels stay on the floor. Now, let's smooth it out.
Good. Keep those shoulders nice and still, keep those hips going, and breath. Practice
this in the mirror, and you'll have a nice horizontal circle, chest move with your shimmy.
