Hi, Wow, I have ALWAYS been taught that the chest shimmy is done with the shoulders, (well, as opposed to so I don’t quite understand how to apply this advice from the article: ”Dina once told me that a chest shimmie is not correct unless it can be done with your arms above your head. In other words, I feel odd asking, but since the article addresses relaxing the ribcage does this mean the shimmy is correctly done using the breasts? (I can’t see how the stomach muscles could be the catalyst – is there a youtube example of the “correct” way per Yasmina’s article/Dina’s advice? Thanks!

I competely agree with the sentiments expressed to the woman with the questions about socializing.
If the owner is asking you to stay for a 4 hour span of time I hope you are being compensated for your night.
Additionally, it can be dangerous to sit and socialize with your patrons after a show. Many times this gives the wrong impression about who you are and what you are really doing.
