I recently was moved up into the regular intermediate class, and I'm so excited---our teacher is teaching Angelika Nemoth's routine! She took a workshop under Angelika and learned this number:
Unfortunately, in this video, you don't see the very beginning of the dance, but she does a move that my teacher calls the "Hagala," where you walk forward in a funky way. I can't describe it in words very well, I can only do it...kinda...sorta. You walk forward one step at a time, and kinda roll the same hip up, around, and forward, I think. :think:
When you do it fast enough, it looks like you're shimmy walking, but you're not.
Has anyone ever heard of this move, and what style is it? Is it Egyptian, American Oriental, or what? :think:
Gisela, Mosaic, somebody haaalp! I forget what I'm supposed to leave out when I copy/paste the YouTube embedding code.
