From romance to energetic vigour, mischievous to flirtatious and the tantalising to the delicate.
When done properly Shimmies are a great way of releasing tension and getting the blood flowing.
Shimmies, when done for a long enough period of time and at the right intensity (varies from person to person) can also be very stress relieving!
