The ShimmyGen founders believe that all styles of bellydance, whether it is "traditional" belly dance (raqs sharqi, raqs baladi, "cabaret", etc), FCBD®, ITS, fusion, or any other proprietary style, have common roots and core foundational isolations. ShimmyGen concentrates on those foundational movements, so any dancer from any format can benefit from the drill sessions. Some movement names may be unfamiliar to you, and we are working on videos and other standardization optimizations to make ShimmyGen as accessible as possible for all dance styles that branch from the "belly dance" tree.

Yes—teachers can use ShimmyGen to help plan warmups, technique blocks, and focused drills.

One note: ShimmyGen content and generated sessions can’t be resold (for example, you can’t sell drill plans made with ShimmyGen to students). That’s covered in our terms of service.

As much or as little as you want — you choose the duration! Whether you have 5 minutes or 90, ShimmyGen adapts the session length automatically.

You can absolutely get value for free—ShimmyGen will generate solid foundational sessions.

Most dancers upgrade when they want more variety, more challenge, and more control (like Professional difficulty, saving sessions, and skipping drills).

Yes. ShimmyGen subscriptions are handled through LemonSqueezy, and you can cancel with one click. You keep your access until the end of your billing period.

Nope! ShimmyGen was developed by dancers, for dancers. Kamrah just also happens to be a developer, and created ShimmyGen over the course of 6 months. If you want technical details, ShimmyGen uses a PostgreSQL database to hold all the movements and options. The code randomly selects (with some proprietary logic modifications) which drills to put together.
