Do you think its "cheating" to shimmy with slightly lifted heels?
My teacher told, that it was easier for her to start to learn in that way, however it will take about 2 years of practice to become good at shimmying.
She also gave some advice that might be useful for some, having problems with shimmy. 1. Start to shimmy first with bent knees and slowly straighten the legs, that way you will find where it is the easiest for you to shimmy. 2. For some it is easier to shimmy by either concentrating only on the movement of the ankles, knees or butt.
