Aldona T. So glad you enjoyed it!!!

Alana 👏🙌❤️

Hi Alana, Thanks for your great and observant question. Technically you wont need to move the knees to get the pelvic tilt. That being said its not wrong to do it as long as it is giving you the desired look you are going for. Some like to add the knees when going for the pelvic shimmy, myself included. If youre getting the move I think it is ok if your knees are moving. Just watch to see if it looks like you are bouncing.

Hi Nina B. I truly appreciate your feedback. Im so glad this video offered some new insights. I've studied and practiced a lot of different types of movement and fitness over the years and I am continually amazed at how much there is to learn. I really appreciate how cross training as it helps me understand movement in so many ways.

Angelique M. Thank you

Hi Michelle,

We don’t currently have any merchandise for sale. We’ve thought about making something. If anything I wear is available for purchase I will always link it in the description of my video. 💕

Lauren Engstrom I am so happy you enjoyed it. I did link here socials in the video description. I would love to interview her. I will see if I can make that happen sooner than later.

Sabrina  The pelvic roll differs in that it stays in the pelvis. The midback and upper back stay in neutral so it doesn't become a body wave. The most honest answer I can give is all teachers are doing their best to explain the way they interpret movement in their body. I think certain moves do have some easily identifiable technical aspects but what you are getting at is an intersection of similarity between moves that are not exactly the same but share some commonalities. It is my personal observation that any hip movement that circles through different positions such as a back and front position is going to require a bit of pelvic flexion and extension (tilt up and down). Once you do the tilt and add a hip you are coming close to a circle. The difference here is that the pelvis is tilting and rounding through one hip mostly and back through center rather than evenly through both hips. I hope that helps. I like to use the mirror as a guide to let me know if I am achieving the desired effect and look. There will be at least some transition thorough the pelvis (roll) but not necessarily large enough to really notice. She is keeping the focus on the hip. In Raqs Sharqi we do incorporate the pelvic roll as a more defined part of the move.

She’s definitely got her own mojo and spice on this move for sure but a Hagallah shimmy will get you close technically. She’s heavily accenting the first accent with a strong sharp down on the left and pelvic drop on the right. I’d recommend you join a live so you can ask me about this and I can do my best to show you what I see. Keep in mind these moves look different from person to person. We can try to match it but body shape plays a role too.
