I was never taught to do hip circles or ummis this way. I was taught a shimmy pushing the pelvis forward and back rapidly, but it's so much smaller as to not even really hyper-extend the lower back. This looks more like an untrained person's idea of how to do a hip circle, like something a member of the g.p. would do to emulate their idea of belly dance. Not to dis Amira ... she looks like she does decent spins. I've not seen her dance before.
