Shakira bellydancing during her Oral Fixation Tour.
Shakira has a distinctive belly-dancing style that maybe you would
like to learn. But how?
- Learn the foundations of bellydancing by signing up for a
class. This will teach you important skills such as muscle
isolation and dexterity. Bellydancing classes can also be very
fun!
- You should also take hip-hop dancing classes. Shakira
incorporates many non-traditional moves into her dancing and adds
many modern elements.
- Get fit! Bellydancing can be a great way to get fit, but before
you attempt to dance like Shakira, you should be in relatively good
shape. Your abs should be your main focus, but do not forget your
legs, hips, and arms.
- Watch the video 'Hips Don't Lie' very closely. After watching
it a couple of times, attempt to follow along. Slow down and pause
the video as necessary.
- Write down what the steps are so you can become familiar with
the choreography.
- Watch yourself in the mirror.
- Realize that you will probably not be able to dance exactly
like Shakira.
- Don't give up!
- Make sure there is a lot of extra space.
- The most important thing to remember is to keep whatever body
part your moving isolated. Isolation is key to making it look as
good as Shakira. If your moving your hips try to keep your chest
and arms still and vice versa, it makes your movements look more
controlled.

Warnings
- Don't overdo it - you can get seriously injured or sprain
something.
- Make sure there is nothing breakable around.
