Question:

HoW dO YoU HiP rOlL LiKe ShAkiRa?


I wanna learn to hip roll like a real pro!!!


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Try taking several different types of Latin dance lessons and bellydance lessons. Shakira draws on both latin and middle eastern dances so if you want to hip roll exactly like her you need to study both styles. Try looking up hip roll on youtube and you'll find all sorts of instructionals and performances. shut up. corbin I shall be giving lessons
starting tommorow @ 9 am,,,
dont be late first thing- tilt your hips from side to side..only move your hips
it may look hard only moving your hips but the key is to bend the knee of the leg the same side as the hip that you're moving...

you need to make it flow and keep the stomach movements isolated[ keep your chest & arms still so you can look more controlled]

then push your hip further out it's place and bring it back to it's normal position and do the same with the other hip but make it flow like liquid- don't be soo stiff

If this is hard to comprehend i suggest you watch her videos (hips don't lie, whenever wherever, and la tortura ) to carefully study her stomach movements carefully...also watch her legs cause you can't roll your hips with straight knees.

i suggest you take a modern and belly-dancing class for the basics.
it's hard to understand from reading- a demonstration is better.

don't give up no matter what
watch yourself in the mirror
understand that you're not gonna get it 100% immediately
don't overdo it - you may get injured or sprained

i learnt that in belly dancing classes
