The three quarter shimmy is a hip shimmy where the hips move Right-Left-Right, Left-Right-Left. It can be very difficult to master. In this workshop Ashley Lopez teaches an even, non-accented version of the three quarter shimmy; her rationale is that one should learn the even version first so that one can add accents as one wishes later on. She powers the three quarter shimmy using the obliques. The workshop begins with a 17 minute Pilates warmup and goes into shimmy singles. She teaches the three quarter shimmy standing and then travelling in a square foot pattern, at three different speeds. She uses releve for the shimmies but gives the option of using flat feet, which I used.The workshop ends with a 10 minute yoga cool-down.
