  3/4 Shimmy is our "normal" shimmy.
  = UpDownUp (last "up" on the beat/step)
  
  What's the difference in your world? :}

    Thank you Sandi!
    Well, when I first started with belly dancing (classical egyptian style, before I learned about beauty of ATS) we did several shimmy types and the "normal" one was basic shimmy - Up-Down-Up-Down-Up-Down etc. So, watching Vol.1 I got confused a bit :)

      "Up-Down-Up-Down-Up-Down etc."
      
      I think that would be the Standing Shimmy, wouldn't it?

        3/4 shimmy isn't standing one? :)
        We called it Basic shimmy and many instructional dvd call it that way.
        Again, thx Sandi for clearing it up for me ;)

          Well, in ATS the 3/4 Shimmy gets used more often. This is the one used for moving about, like turning in place, travelling, layering it over other movements. Whereas the Standing Shimmy is only used while standing in place.

    Sandi, I'm having a "moment" here. I thought a 3/4 shimmy goes:
    Up-Down-Up-and-Up-Down-Up-and, with a tiny pause before you switch the Up Hip (or: Righ-Left-Right-and-Left-Right-Left-and)
    
    While the plain ol' Shimmy is just Up-Down-Up-Down-Up-Down (or:Right-Left-Right-Left-Right-Left).
    
    What is the correct name for each of these?

      I guess you misunderstood my last post - 3/4 shimmy is Up-Down-Up with pause before switching to the Up hip.
      Anyway, I got my answer, so ... :)

      UpDownUp = 3/4 Shimmy, or to us, it's just the Shimmy or Shimmy Step
      
      UpDownUpDown = Alternating Shimmy, this is what Ursel is describing as the Standing Shimmy
