Shakira Says She Could Belly Dance Since Birth

Posted on November 19, 2009

Sexy singer Shakira believes she has been able to belly dance from birth and never had to train to learn the moves. Read more on what Shakira had to say below.

The “She-Wolf” singer who is known for her sexy hip-shaking dancing believes she never really had to have training for belly-dancing but did have lessons as a child.

Shakira said: “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 knows she is considered a sex symbol and says she is “flattered” because she has never believed she is a beautiful woman.

She added: “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.”

Shakira appears semi-naked in her ‘She Wolf’ video and admits it isn’t easy keeping in shape and that she goes through rigorous training to keep slim.

She told the 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.”
