The Hagallah Shimmy Demystified
This is one of those shimmies that really confuse dancers when it’s not explained well. Which is too bad, because it’s a REALLY good one!
The Hagallah is a 3/4 shimmy on the down with a twist, stepping on the downbeat (….see how that might be confusing?) and it’s used extensively in a folkloric dance of the same name. It also happens to be one of my favorite traveling shimmies – so you’ll definitely want to learn this one!
In this tutorial I will walk you through the movement in step-by-step detail so you can confidently create this sensational shimmy and add it to your dance vocabulary.
Are you ready? Grab your hip scarf… Let’s Hagallah!
