When it came to the 3/4 shimmy (a.k.a. The Moroccan Shimmy) I picked it up in a live class, justlikethat, after trying to decipher another teacher, Gillian Cofsky's cryptic instructions off and on for about a year. Gillian, you give great bellyrobics, but you teach best, mostly the hybrid things! Secret is you start the shimmy with a side-hip thrust (with or without traveling and/or layering) not unlike 80's-era American pop dance "bamming" or "bumping" ... Although you seem preternaturally talented at learning dance by video, lorajc, I think generally live lessons are still mostly for the tribal fusion folks.

To be Fair though, Even after Lessons it Hadn't Stuck ...
The 3/4 shimmy was the most elusive thing:
Without faster and varying-speed practice ... it gets lost ... It had taken 8 months for it to be found again. Even this teacher says the speed cannot be unbundled from wherever she tells you, that you should be moving your hips: Tiazza teaches 3/4 Shimmy (Moroccan shimmy)
