Belly Dance Tutorial For Beginners!! Lesson 2 | How to Shimmy with Meher Malik | 

lol😁 i am trying this while lying on bed😅😅

First woman on RU-vid who taught shimmy perfectly

Thank you so much for your videos! I have decided that I want to start belly dancing for a few reasons. Mainly, it seems like a fun way to lose some weight. I am 480 lbs after losing 100 lbs in the past year with a low carb diet. I have alot of energy, and very strong legs, so this shimmy is very easy for me to do. I love that I can practice step 1 sitting down if I really need to, although I will also practice standing up, but I need to learn how to isolate my muscles. It's going to be a fun adventure!

Guys, the knee movement is exactly the same as when you're sitting on the floor. You just need to keep the knees loose when you're standing.

You are a mind blowing teacher I must say.... I have never thought that I would ever learn this dance... but today I doing it... all thanks to you and your channel..

The movement from the knees is the action and what comes from the hips the reaction, we stan a queen with physics references

As already mentioned, it would be helpful if you showed the knees.

In all of the shimmy tutorials, you are the first one that I see instructing to practice on the floor. Great idea, and is very helpful! Thank you!

I enjoyed the deconstructed method of how you taught this with starting from the floor, thank you. ❤

YES!!! finally was able to do it! what an awesome lesson. i was actually shocked when my hips naturally made a shimmy using this technique. thank you very much

Very clear explanations! I had never known that shimmys come from the knees! You are a fantastic instructor!!!

Thank you for the instructions, most videos are advanced and too much for a beginner who truly wants to learn.

This movement is a workout in itself!

How can we see the movement if you wear a long skirt.

Pls don't mind me saying this, but can you do these movements or lessons rather in some short skirt or smthng like that? So that we can make out how the legs go for a particular movement. Thanks a lot!

Who else came to know that these muscles were "just existing" in your lives till now 😂😂😂

Your lesson and the trick of putting knees on the floor are brilliant!

I am still on the first video, but I want to say *thank you* for taking the time to break it down with so many helpful details. It's very much appreciated.

Please make a playlist where we can find all belly dance tutorials it will be easy for us

I understood it better when you were sitting on the floor and demonstrating it. It'd have been better if you could've worn half pants or something similar, so that we could see properly how to do it while standing. Thanks for the video though. Will try it out.

Please upload the next part... i was in a search of online belly dancing tutorial..nd found this channel very helpful

Really need to see ur knees. It will be morr helpful. Want to knw whether the knees are kept straight or we need to bend them a bit?

The best online dance teacher I have ever seen 💜💜💜

You are terrific man I love you and you are my inspiration The way you are teaching its superb 😘

I think it'd be better to show your legs. I need to see how your legs its move, when you are standing

I wish i could see the movement of yr knee when u stand...i couldn't see it.😥

My brain starts getting confused when it comes to alternating between the knees and I look like I’m having seizure… 😭

Thank you kyuki aapki vajah se main belly dance ka lesson 2 sikh payi

3:05 now I know what mistake I made..I was trying so hard to shimmy my hips 😂😂😂 the movement comes feom the knees ❤❤thank you Mehwr mam ❤❤❤

Thank you ,among all tutorials , I could finally understand the real postures which is helping me to learn as begginer . Again thank you 🙏❤❤❤

Oh my gosh!! I used to dance when I was a young woman, I tried so hard to do this movement for so long and I could never get my hips to do this. Now, I know why. I wasn't using my knees. I wish I had known about belly dancing classes back then. I just thought it was a trait, passed down from mother to daughter. Forgive me, I'm an old lady now, I didn't know you could take classes like this.

Very nice ! Always wanted to know how to do this moves ... great work.

That‘s such a great lot of fun! Didn‘t know that this is so (relatively) easy! Thank you, you are awesome!

You should have shown knee movements when doing shimmy standing.

Your teaching is so awesome ma'am please do teach us more and more.

I love how you teach so clear and on point also detailed. Much love. Can't wait for more! Thank you!

You are an amazing guide! Thank you for these mini-tips/lessons!

Thanks ma'am for taking my comment so seriously...and I'm looking for more small small moves towards this wonderful dance...and trust me, try karti hu m ye sab....🤗🤗

Love ur videos... Wow such gr8 technique.. Not 2 injure r knees.

Wow I haven’t seen anyone teaching with such finer details Keep it up 👍🏻

This is so good and simple way to explain.

Ab tak ki life m agar koi graceful belly dancer dekha h to wo ap ho mehar ji....aap par khuda ki mehar h.....banjara girls ka most beutifully choeograped dance is.....hmari atariya par aaja re sanwriya.....i luv to watch again nd again dat video

Can you please show leg/knee movement when demonstrating with music? That would be helpful.

Mam you should had to wear the skinny lower it could be easy for us to learn the knee steps because it's difficult to learn that you have wore sharara type lower

Awesome tutorial.. Please don't stop posting.. These are really helpful in improving the basic skills

Very good instruction and beautiful spirit! Thank you!

Hello mam! M male belly dancer nd just looking forward more video lessons.. Nd really lvs ur way to tech mam just make more lessons plzz mam... ☺

Kinda wish you weren't wearing the long skirt. Hard to see the knee movements

Thank u so much ma'am for this video...I have been trying to this before this lesson ... And now I know I was doing it right...though I can't do perfectly as you do... But I am learning it more...

A nice pair of tight dance pants/leggings or even shorts would help show the knee movement. This long skirt is not optimal for teaching purpose.

Please teach a lesson on how to do a proper figure 8! Thank you!!

Please upload more lessons

Thank u so much!! Been trying to figure ds step out for so long 😅

Pls don't wear long skirt we CNT see properly
