It's a coordination thing that's hard to pick up!. A shimmy is a shoulder isolation (one shoulder goes forward while the other shoulder goes back, and then reverse), and like all isolations should be learned by itself and slowly!. Just practice slow for a while, and then slowly increase your speed!. I used to not be able to shimmy for my life, but after lots of slow practice I got pretty decent!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

me either! it's so annoying! I try just to fake it by moving the top half of your body forward and just move your shoulders back and forth (left, right, left)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

maybe because you feel self-cautious!.!.!. I would just say getting a bellydance DVD and keep on trying you'll get it eventuallyWww@QuestionHome@Com

try moving your shoulders more when practicing for it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
