Turkish shimmies are the choo choo shimmies. The biggest difference between a choo choo shimmy and an Egyptian shimmy is that fact that you can easily move with a choo choo shimmy. the rule in dance in general is that it is easier to move with much elegance and stability in the upper body when you use your toes to move. This is is definitely true about the Turkish choo choo shimmy.
there are 2 aspects to the choo choo shimmy: the traveling steps and the hip motion. You must learn both separately before you can layer.the steps are very small yet very fast and the upper body is constantly stable. Watch the video to get an idea of the basic technique. More videos on how to layer the choo choo shimmy will be posted. Have fun !
