3/4 Shimmy (Hagalla) Tutorial
Detailed tutorial for the 3/4 shimmy, also known as the Hagalla. This is my favorite type of shimmy but it is probably the most challenging. We focus on 3 accented beats followed by a pause. But when we build up to fast tempos, the pause can feel non-existent! This is the precursor to the Algerian twist, sometimes known as the walking shimmy. The main focus is to get comfortable at slower speeds before progressing.
