BOOTIE SHAKE
Hello Everyone,
I need some bootie advice…lol
I just saw Karol's routine from the convention & I https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gifhttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gifhttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif the bootie shake. Does anyone out there know how to do this?
I am thinking perhaps this could be another challenge for a month. Trying my bootie shake but not quite so shaky.

Lots of relaxing and not afraid to be goofy and practice. Only use your muscles to push or pop it in whatever direction then let gravity take over. Like if you pop it up, stay up and let it fall on its own, don't try to push it down. This will help you feel when its moving on its own and when your flexing. Tight muscles don't shake. Hope that helps.

Depends entirely on the kind of shake you're trying to get! Hehe https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
The trick to what I consider the "normal" shake, or the bellydancer shimmy, is that you need to squat down just a little bit, and then it's all in the knees! You move your knees opposite each other, front and back (so when one is forward, the other is back) and very quickly! You don't need to do it very big, just enough to get all that hip/booty going!
Some people also do this with their feet…I'm not entirely sure how, because I imagine that would mean a lot of clattering when wearing heels! However, there's an excellent video of it. It's Michelle L'amour's performance at the 1st annual burlesque festival in new orleans! Yes, she's a burlesque dancer…and there's a reason her tag line is "The ass that goes POW!"

She starts around 4:00 or 4:10, if you want to skip the delicious tease and get right to the bum.
She also showcases a couple of other ways of doing it, with some strong muscle isolation (by flexing her thigh muscles in the back, she can make the whole thing shake!), and the nice hip movements which allows it to shake as well!
And, I know that Veena has some wonderful lessons on booty shaking, if you've got access to her lessons.
And, if you REALLY need more help, take a little belly dancing or burlesque class! They'll help you out! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Check out Veena's booty lessons!!! I loved how Karol rocked that booty! So fun!!!
-
Yes, I liked how Karol did that too. She did it with style.
-
Can someone post a link to Karol's video? I'm not sure which one everyone is talking about, and wow Michelle can shake it!
-
Cherished: I took a look on Youtube for it, but I can't seem to find anything with Karol shakin' her thang. I agree, I'd love to see it!
And yes, Michelle sure can shake hers! I couldn't imagine how long she had to practice for that…I know I can't go for that long! She's one of my most favourite burlesque dancers ever 🙂

I think this is the video of Karol you ladies are talking about. I didn't see a youtube link, but this is on facebook:

I am 100% in love with Michelle L'Amour. Her show's SPECTACULAR.
Karol's most recent vid–the peacock/booty shake one–is so fun and cheeky (pun in tended), I love love love love love it.
My booty does.not.want.to.shake. I jokingly refer to my ass as "audit ass" because from the way my muscles refuse to relax you'd think the IRS were after me lol. I work on it, but it frustrates me. I work on it again, it frustrates me.
I figure if a teeny tiny booty like Karol's can get to shakin' so fabulously, mine certainly oughta! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif

Exactly how I see it too about Karol's tiny self can do booty shaking then perhaps I can too. I would take her booty class for sure.

I put up a video on here with my booty shaking and a blog with a few tips….i hope they help. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
