Shakira

Shakira is a very famous singer, songwriter, record producer and dancer from Colombia, who has become very well-known around the world.  She was born on February 2, 1977 in a beautiful and touristic city called Barranquilla.  She has a lot of good songs and has appeared in some Colombian telenovelas; El Oasis, Ugly Betty, the Bahamas Triangle and many others. She is also known for her dancing and videos.  I love the way she dances which is based on belly dancing.  She learned to belly dance by trying to flip a coin with her belly.  She likes to help poor children and that is why in 1997, she founded the Pies Descalsos Foundation.  This foundation is located in Colombia with special schools for those children, which focuses on education.  When I was a child I used to watch her videos with my friends we started to try to move our body as her.  I remember my friend that made three dance competitions and she always won because she made a lot good movements from the Shakira’s videos.  The people loved the way that my friend who was only seven years old made those movements.
