Editorial Review:

Description:
The Shimmy is unique to bellydancing and it is this movement in particular that distinguishes this dance form from any other. In this DVD, Bozenka teaches twelve different types of shimmies. She carefully selected the top shimmies used in drum solos and included her favorite ones too. Bozenka breaks down each shimmy and describes them in a way only she can, helping the student gain confidence, endurance and correct execution of movement. After being repeatedly requested to teach shimmies during seminars, she was inspired to gather the top 12 shimmies and put them in a DVD for students to take home. Bozenka is admired for her powerful, yet relaxed and earthy shimmies. A useful learning tool for students of all levels and a teaching tool for instructors, this is one DVD that any bellydancer should include in her video collection whether a beginner or the most advanced of dancers.

- Not Every Shimmy in the BooK but 12 Commonly Used Shimmies.
Have to agree that the title is misleading because they only cover 12 shimmies and it would be utterly amazing if they could teach you "Every Shimmy in the book" in a 51 minutes Dvd (which also includes a performance and an interview). There are really 4 main shimmies, like what the other reviewer have said, with variations that make the 4 main shimmies equal to 12 shimmies that are taught, which are the Shoulder shimmy , Basic shimmy, Shimmy on the toes , ¾ Shimmy , ¾ Shimmy side-to-side , ¾ ...

- Worst practice dvd
I don't know what is going on or who made this dvd but in no way is it good or even worth the low rating I gave it.

The lighting is very poor you can barely see what bozenka is doing,
even when she goes to break the movement down the lighting is still poor
leaving the viewer unsure of what she was doing.

There are about 4 shimmies on here that are not on other dvds which is bad.
Bedouin shimmy
pelvic shimmy
Freeze
and hagala

- only 12 shimmies
I agree with another reviewer that this DVD is very disappointing. Is it another money-making idea for the BDSS? There are only 12 shimmies demonstrated here: 1 shoulder shimmy and 11 hip shimmies including a "freeze", haggalla, twist, Egyptian, etc. Bozenka's shimmies are amazing but she does not explain how to develop the technique, she only shows each one for less than a minute, maybe she fears competitors.
Instead of this DVD I would recommend Leila Jouvana's 1001 shimmies which is much more ... Read More

- Every shimmy? Where?

My first impression of this video: disbelief. The producers of Every Shimmy in the Book with Bozenka must surely know that there are a lot of well-known shimmy instruction videos out there. Including one called 21 Shimmies. Why then do they go and create the expectation that this is the last word in shimmies, spanning everything possible? Not only is this video failing to live up to the expectation that this is an absolute encyclopedia of shimmies, but it's going on to reinforce that expectation ... Read More

- Good for Intermediate level dancers
This is definitely a good dvd for intermediate level dancers who are looking to drill shimmies. A beginner may find it too fast paced and difficult to follow.
I liked that it was only about 40 minutes with a warm-up and cool down, and drilling shimmies gets your heart rate up for a good cardio work-out.
