Hi Everyone,
My teacher insists that we always stand on demi (one foot flat with the other leg slightly bent on demi pointe), unless doing folkloric. So even when we shimmy, we only do it in that particular stance.
Is that correct? I have watched famous Egyptian dancers and have not noticed them in that stance constantly. I also feel it hampers my shimmies and they end up looking very uneven.
I hope someone can enlighten me! Please note I am learning Egyptian technique.
Thank you.
