Answer 2

Shakira and Beyonce both have different dancing styles. Shakira uses more salsa/belly dancing in hers and Beyonce uses more hip-hop. I highly doubt that, even with basic dancing skills, that you can learn from a website. If you really do want to learn how to dance like them you'll have to do it the hard way. Go to a dance academy and sign up for a hip-hop/belly dancing class.

Answer 3

Go to good dance classes - you can do better than Shakira and Beyonce. Look for bellydance salsa hiphop if you like their style.

Answer 4

Get some charcoal dust, rub it all over your body so you are enough of a knee grow. Then shake your *** REALLY fast, it isnt that hard.

Answer 5

You should be looking for real lessons since anything you find on-line should be used only as supplemental material to enhance what you learn in the classroom. There is no substitution for a live instructor. When you use videos websites and books you cannot receive feedback, you cannot view it from another angle, you cannot ask questions in real time(although if it's a website you could e-mail someone or use a chat feature if available). There is no way to make sure your posture/positioning is correct which opens you up to being more susceptible to injury. All that being said when you say you want to dance like shakira and beyonce you are asking to dance two complete different styles. I don't particularly care for beyonce at all and therefore I'm not very familiar with her style of dance so I will address what I am familiar with,... Shakira. Shakira's style is made up of a myriad of different dances she heavily incorporates dance moves from numerous Latin dances such as salsa, tango, even flamenco. She also adds in bellydance inspired moves as well as using modern dance, hip hop and even incorporating occasionally styles like bollywood. All of these styles are a dance style in and of themselves. To actually dance like Shakira you would have to learn every single style she uses and then on top of that incorporate it all into a dance using the same interpretation as Shakira would which would be difficult to do. I can only offer you some resources for bellydance as that's where my own expertise is but, I highly recommend you find actual classes to learn from instead of just trying to learn from sources which should be used as supplements. Also all of these forms are serious dance forms which are beautiful art forms and require discipline and commitment to learn. You cannot learn to be a belly dancer in a weekend or a month in fact most bellydancers train for many years. This is true for most styles of dance. So, please don't take any classes and expect immediate results.
And now without further ado here are my recommendations for bellydance resources.

WEBSITES (for finding teachers/classes)
http://www.shira.net - probably the most extensive directory
http://www.middleeaseterndance.net - my site which has a decent sized directory as well
http://www.bhuz.com - another large directory as well as a great forum which can answer pretty much every question you will ever have about bellydance since it's comprised of bellydancers from all over the world.
If you can't find lessons looking on these three sites their may not be any in your area.

WEBSITES (for learning moves on-line)
http://www.middleeasterndance.net - my own site look under the movements section, there will be enough to keep you busy for a long time. Also please read the before you begin section with the disclaimer, warm-up, cool-down, and basics about posture.
http://www.shira.net - don't mind what the other person said about this site I doubt she even knows how to bellydance. Shira's site is an extensive collection of articles written about and for bellydancers and can provide you with a wealth of information that will be very beneficial. It's one of the oldest and most respected sites on the Internet and is referenced by bellydancers world-wide. She has a specific page which tells you how to do some moves as well as extensive links to other sites that offer on-line lessons as well.
http://www.venusbellydance.com/vocabulary.htm - More movement descriptions.
http://www.aleena.com/miramar/ - go to on-line dance lessons there are several articles about dancing there.
http://www.zilltech.com/onlinelessons.html - Another old, well, respected website full of information you should check out. She offers a few instructions for several basic moves.
http://www.kawakib.com/page-30.html - more of a technique lesson but might be helpful after learning some basics.
http://www.raqs.co.nz/moves.html - has some descriptions of select movements.

BOOKS
Belly Dancing Basics by Laura A. Cooper (ISBN: 140271078X) - newer book, not great but not bad either.
The Art of Belly Dancing by Dahlena with Dona Z. Meilach - This book is out of print but shows up on amazon and e-bay from time to time. It's ok but it's written for a different time the history part is especially questionable but the moves are pretty straight forward.
Grandmother's Secrets by Rosina-Fawzia Al-Rawi (ISBN: 1566563267) - An interesting read has several descriptions of dance moves as well.
A lot of books have been coming on the market recently and most of them (excluding out of print books) are available at Barnes and Nobel or borders books as well as other chains and smaller stores.

VIDEOS
(not on-line ones there's not to many lesson videos on-line)
Precision Motion Workout Series by Suzanna Del Vecchio - offers good posture basics as well as quality instruction on many moves.
Bellydance for Fitness Series by Neena and Veena Bidasher - this series is very cheap and available from major retailers like target, walmart, borders, and Barnes and Nobel but the quality of instruction is low. This is more of a workout for beginner dancers who already have had some training. The videos are a good quality as far as picture and sound but these are not good for an absolute beginner.
There's tons of them available if you want to read some reviews I've written about various videos go to my site and check out the reviews section. http://www.middleeasterndance.net... you can also e-mail me with any other questions you might have about bellydancing or related subjects directly through my site (sorry, I rarely respond to e-mail from my yahoo account).
I hope this helps you and I hope that you stick with it as it's (in my opinion) the best art form you can learn.
