Lebanese and 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.
