Hip & Shimmy Clinic with Shoshana Mizell
Hip and shimmy clinic with Shoshana Mizell Have you tried to shimmy and sometimes it flows freely and sometimes it does not. Is it a hit or miss? Have you tried to execute a sharp hip accent but it falls flat? Fear not, it’s not you. The fact is that understanding your body and how it works best to effortlessly perform movements takes knowledge of where the movements come from. Everyone’s body, joint position, muscle strength and brain-body connections are not exactly the same. As a Belly dance teacher for 45 years and a NYS massage therapist for 20 years, I have the ability to assess where there is dysfunction in executing a movement and implementing or tweaking YOUR unique body to move the way you want it to! I have a formula that is a basic map to your body’s ability to do what your brain wants. Does it take a lot of practice and dedication? Absolutely! The point is, you do not want to do all that hard work practicing what is not of maximum results for YOUR body. It gives me deep gratitude to leave a legacy of all I have learned through my 45 years of dance to the dance community and know that the generosity of imparting the wonders of this sacred dance will live forever.
Meet Shoshana Mizell – A Lifetime of Dance and Dedication
Shoshana Mizell’s dance journey began at just 5 years old, exploring a variety of styles including Tap, Jazz, African, and Flamenco, each enriching her artistry and technique.
Everything changed when she stepped into a belly dance class at the Serena Wilson Dance Studio. Instantly, she felt at home and discovered her true calling.
Her professional belly dance career took off like a whirlwind. Shoshana became the featured performer at the legendary NYC nightclub El Sultan and graced top venues of the 1980s, including the Ibis, Cedars of Lebanon, Darwish, and Town Hall. Her talent carried her internationally to Panama, Egypt, and Israel, and she was a featured artist aboard Italian cruise ships traveling the Virgin Islands.
Shoshana’s passion for teaching blossomed at Serena Studios, where she joined as an instructor. In 1996, she took the leap to launch her own company, the Shoshana Dance Theater Company.
Reflecting on her journey, Shoshana says:
“From the moment my foot touched the stage in 1979, the magic has never left my spirit for the breathtaking art of belly dance.”
