But I highly recommend lessons as opposed to descriptions and/or videos. Bellydance as well as Latin dances influence Shakira so to do it exactly as shakira you would be best off taking both bellydance and latin dance classes.

First, stop thinking about the hips. It's mostly alternating knee flexion that does it. The trick is in learning to isolate and not move the ribcage while the knees are making the hips do their thing. Surf through YouTube for some ballroom competitions, Latin division, and watch them dancing rumba. It's the same thing but slower and easier to watch. By the way, it takes ballroom dancers a lot of work to get their Latin motion down, so don't expect immediate results.

Its really difficult to explain. Its one of those things that is easier to demonstrate. I suggest enrolling in a belly dance class. They will teach you the basics and give you a good foundation to work with. You will learn things like the shimmy, which is where you make the whole body vibrate, mayan hips (which is that move she really known for where her hips roll up out and down) and various other moves. They will also give you tips on posture and position so that you don't cause yourself undue pain in your knees or back when executing some of the moves. Check out a local class. I am sure you will love it.

Simply watch Shakira and practice.Whenever you see her perform get up and try and copy her moves.If possible videotape her videos and other tv performances and just study what she does and practice,practice.It may also help to stand in front of a long length mirror to see youself as you do it to see what isn't moving right.

Well keep practicing, watch her video like everyday, or every time you get the chance, and soon you will be able to master it, like Shakira. Good Luck.
