About Shakira:

Latin pop star SHAKIRA discovered her trademark hip-shaking dance moves after
watching a belly dancer perform.

She says,
  "I was mesmerised and when I got home I started repeating every move I saw."
The Lebanese-Colombian beauty now credits the dance style with helping her overcome crippling shyness.

She says: "I fell in love with the idea of performing in front of a live audience."

"I always felt the stage was the only place where I was completely uninhibited because usually I'm shy, although I've learned how to cover it.

"Belly dancing puts you in touch with your most sensual aspects."
