Wow – What a treat the 2025 Grammy Awards had for us! Shakira was back with her signature belly dance moves.
Sahira of Houston, Texas really leaned into this performance, analyzed the choreo, and has graciously uploaded a quick instructional demo.
I appreciate Sahira’s approach to filming, showing us both the front and back view of each combo. I ran through this tutorial three times and worked up a sweat.
If you are like me, a little older and a little chubbier, I recommend taking time to warm up the joints and stretch out the back and legs before tackling this demo.
The Rolling Stones wrote up a review, and in their article, they shared a close-up of Shakira’s bra. Notice how much coverage and support this bra offers along with a U-shaped length of beaded fringe reaching from the top of one cup to the other.
In this belly dance fashion era of the “Dina Bra,” it’s really nice to see a dancer sporting a look that looks secure enough to hold everything in place.
I just love spotting belly dance in popular media and watching how movement and costuming styles evolve and change.
I hope you have a blast trying out Shakira’s moves!
