Shakira believes her ability belly dance isn’t something she ever had to learn, it just comes naturally.
“For me, it was, and is, more of a natural thing. It’s something that was practically given to me at birth, and for which I never had to train myself. These movements, they are inside me and I can call them back whenever I need them.”
Shakira realizes she is a sex symbol to men all over the world but insists she is “flattered” that guys find her attractive because she has never believed she is a beautiful woman.
“I must confess that I feel very flattered – because I never have felt particularly sexy. Anybody who shows me like this is promoting my feminine vanity.”
But Shakira admits it’s not easy looking as good as she does, and she has to stick to a rigorous training regime to stay slim and sexy. She added to German magazine Fit For Fun:
“I trained really hard for the ‘She Wolf’ video – almost a month. I wanted to look good and didn’t want to shame myself. There was no muscle in my body that did not hurt. I was in pain for days, simply because I’d gone too far.”
I can’t even imagine.

her accessories are killing me- terrible!
Awful outfit.
definitely feel she contradicts herself. see some of her real videos live the ones beforfe all the vids and u’ll see different colours in the belly dancing.. i’m a belly dancer, bin dancing for 5 years, certain movemetns are jus definite to the dance and style. we kno it all, course it can be natural too, but all put together it is belly dancin! she stil rocks tho!
All of you guys are hating because you wish you were as good as shakira is. Dumb asses -.-
Are you serious?? That’s not a training regiment. That’s the equivalent of a fad diet.
I’m really liking that outfit she has on, with the exception of all the jewelry. Love the boots and dress.
Is it me or does this entire article contradict itself?
i think she’s far more sexier than Britney and beyonce
OMG I love her hair. If mine could only look like that! I think Shakira is gorgeous, and she has a very interesting distinctive voice. I liked a lot of the stuff I heard from her last album. And yes she is definitely a lot sexier than several of the female ‘divas’ who seem to have confused the term sexy with completely trashy.
Her voice isn’t interesting. The best metaphor I can come up with is P Wee Herman.
i like her. she seems to be really nice and a down to earth girl. not to mention how much she helps children in need. i saw her in concert a few years ago and her dancing skills are AMAZING.
she uses the same moves in every clip. Don’t really understand what was her training about. Booooooring
I’ve seen videos of Shakira before she became big in the US. She was heavier and definitely didn’t know how the belly dance. Her dancing was a mess!! Natural my eye! I really like her voice and even her dancing now, but she’s been trained and taught all up and down her She-wolf cage.
