Are there any Belly dancing Dvds that are any good?

Question

I would like to learn how to do the shimmy any recomendations?

Answer 1

If you're just starting out, I recommend the DVD's by Veena and Neena.  If you're ready to take things more seriously, the DVD's by Jillina are great.

The shimmy is a simple move, it just looks hard because it's so fast.  It's easy to learn, what takes practice is getting up to speed.

Stand with your feet slightly apart.  Now bend the left knee and let your left hip droop.  Straighten the left knee and bend your right knee, letting your right hip droop.  

Just keep doing that - alternate bending your knees, faster and faster and faster, and you have a shimmy!
