Is there such a move? Is this it?

Around 5:05
One of my very first instructors taught us a VERY SLOOOOOOOOWED down version of what Jillina does. In an exaggerated sense, the move looks like you are about to sit down on a public toilet and all of the sudden you change your mind - kind of a pelvic tilt back and then an abdominal contraction and glute squeeze back up again.
Does anyone have any other examples of this?

Fri, May 30, 2008 - 7:31 PMthe thing right before 5.05 looks like a level change. after that it looks like a full body shimmy. the Goddess dancing calls it the "Ecstasy shimmy". you bounce on your knees small and fast and everything shakes (even the back of your arms ^_^ it's a great massage) -

Mon, June 2, 2008 - 5:39 AMI think the movements before 5:05 are reverse undulations but at 5:05 it just looks like shes bouncing, which is probably meant to look like more than just bouncing, its probably a shimmy -

Mon, June 2, 2008 - 6:55 AMThe bouncing is a bounce shimmy or earthquake shimmy. It is usually created by either bouncing through the heels or by rapidly moving both knees forward and back together. It is fairly traditional in cabaret forms of belly dance and you see it fairly often in modern Egyptian style. :)

Sun, June 1, 2008 - 6:16 PMIt looks like an accented reverse undulation to me. :) With some other lovely variations layered on.
That's my 2 cents -

Sun, June 1, 2008 - 7:06 PMThat's exactly what it looks like to me too; a reverse undulation.
And as many times as I've seen that whole body shake, it still makes me go "Huh?" Maybe it's because I'm not a cabaret dancer? I just don't *get* that move. -

Tue, June 3, 2008 - 9:37 AMI don't really get it either and I'm a Cab dancer in training. I have seen Tribal Fusion dancers do a full a full body shimmy. Most notably for me, Unmata.
