Okay, I'm all in. I was a dancer for 18 years and I never had a workout this difficult. I can totally isolate, but damn. I'm now 56, and this is totally up my alley. I don't think many folks understand what a workout this is. Especially for the core. I know most folks in the uneducated US don't understand what it takes to be able to belly dance. It's a no-shit art form. Not only does it take artistry, but it takes a solid core and the ability to isolate the appropriate muscles. This is a no shit art, just below Bollywood in it's intensity. Bollywood is a killer, even for for pros.

I danced for 28 years, jazz, tap, ballet, "modern" which is now known as contemporary ... and I have never worked out so hard! I've totally got the physics and the ability, but the stamina is unreal. I'm now in my mid 50s and this is the hardest workout across many of your videos as I've ever done!. Belly dancing is NO SHIT. It's the best core workout that didn't seem like a workout. So much fun, it doesn't seem like work ... until the next day 😅 This is a REAL workout that's more fun than work. Thanks for making this available to everyone.

One of my legs is longer than the other by almost a full inch. Are there any shimmies i can expect not to learn well?

[@BellyMotions]

Me too!! I wear orthotics! We all are asymmetrical. Good news is You’ll be able to do all the shimmies!! But…make sure to see your doctor to prevent pain in other joints due to compensation

Huh??? What happened to the rest of the shimmy/pink group practice? lmao

[@BellyMotions]

Hi!! I think there was a copyright with a song so I had to cut it!

[@Kaileenasedai]

I've been dancing for years, nearly twenty now, and the shimmy always eludes me. Or rather I really struggle with it. I'm not sure what's wrong with me really. It's helpful to see you go through all of it though and see how I should stand and where I should feel what.
