Session 2, Week 1
Fri, March 16, 2007 - 12:44 PMWeek 1
Layering 4/4 shimmies with:
• Hip slides
• Hip circles
• Chest slides, lifts
• Chest circles
•
Undulations
Arabic
Arabic combos (practice keeping undulations big!)
Homework: practice shimmying while doing everyday, mundane activities, like brushing your hair/teeth or cooking dinner. Keep it up until you find you are able to focus on the activity and NOT the shimmying. Shimmying will be second nature to you so that you can start forgetting about the hip shimmy and start focusing on another part of your body. -
