Hi Miss Shimmy, Good question! I'll do undulations, belly rolls and flutters, shoulder rolls and ribcage moves. The sholuder rolls and ribcage moves prevent my back from tightening up.

I practice isolating adductor and abductors and glutes while I surf eBay.
I practice shoulder shimmies while playing computer solitaire.
I practice rib cage slides while updating my website.
I practice undulations (up on the Oriental Dance.net forum, down while surfing Bhuz).

I also would like to know .
I mostly practise while sitting at the computer, bellyrolls and undulations, shoulder shimmies, ribcage slides, chestlifts, chestcircles and -figure eights, contracting glutes, I also try to locate separate muscles and just contracting and releasing those to gain more strength there.
I spend a lot of time sitting on trains and busses also, which is where I will practise just as well while sitting. Now I wouldn't know about snakearms though, they are a bit hard when typing and will make you look really odd if you start doing them on a bus or a train all of a sudden lol

lower abs
i find my lower abs easier to contract whilst sitting,and my bellyroll is not far away as i am sitting,so i know that over time it will be just as effective when standing.
thats right girls,all we can do is pracise where we can,when we can.I now look forward to longer bus journeys as i can do some sat down bellydancing..yey!
last night i was tensing the top of my back,that was good,realy lifted up my chest and gave instant great posture

Moon, LOL!!! that could work but it's not easy to do snakearms and not slap the person you don't want sitting beside you:lol:
Miss Shimmy, I know about the back thing! It works wonderfully, I've been watching my posture closely, keeping my chest a bit lifted and my shoulders straight for the last few months, and noticed that I'm standing (and sitting) straighter than before, my lower belly doesn't look weird anymore because it lifts that as well, and then I did a tribal workshop where we had to lift AND sort of arch (I don't know if this is the right description, but think tribal posture) our upper back, and after standing like that for a while it even felt painfull to "slump" back down again. My posture's been nicer ever since
I'm also working on bellyrolls and flutters while sitting at the moment, I do those mostly, and chestcircles. My flutter is still really slow

Try it when you don't want people to sit next to you
That reminds me of my when I was flying from Germany to the Netherlands...I thought of something funny from the trip I'd just been on and couldn't stop laughing...I bet the man next to me thought I was a nut! And there was no where he could go!
