Shakira has belly danced since birth

Despite having lessons as a child, Shakira reckons that she has been able to belly dance since birth.

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.”

The sexy She Wolf singer says she is “flattered” to be considered a sex symbol, adding “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.”

So how did she get in shape for the She Wolf video? She told 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.”
 
Ouch! So is this true? Well we’ve heard from a very reliable source that her hips don’t lie…
