Shimmy S01E12 - Bellies in Beirut

From the village shimmy, to the Lebanese hip circle, to zar head, moves taken from Middle-Eastern folk dances give this episode a particularly authentic feel and remind us of the joy of being with a community of dancers. Our gorgeous Shimmy Dancers next teach that signature move that no belly dancer's repertoire can be complete without: the belly roll. For some it comes naturally, for others it takes and effort. Take it slow, following the break-down exactly, repeating if you until you can smooth it out, and by the end of the episode you'll be able to roll along with us!
