It's not important to dip. Sometimes you will need to dip to get a heavier weight up there, but it takes time to get the form and movements down, too.
Sometimes, the weight is so light that you feel stupid dipping. But, you're knocking out tons of reps, so you're ass still gets fried.

Don't worry. That will only happen if the weight is super light and you're really excited about snatching! The weight would have to be so light that the weight keeps going up when you stop. Go a little heavier.
I saw a girl doing them with 5lbs. Please, she could have done 15, easy. There's sort of a minimum weight that you can use. Anything less and you might as well just be jumping empty handed.
