SHIMMYSHOWCASE: UPCOMING SHOWCASE CALENDAR AND DANCER OPPORTUNITIES

SHIMMY SHOWCASE

Shimmyshowcase began in 2003 at Coffee Haven in Long Beach. In 2011 we moved to Viento y Agua Coffee House, where we danced every month until COVID-19 brought Shimmyshowcase at Viento y Agua to an end in March 2020. Our search for a new Shimmyshowcase venue yielded a generous offer from the owners of Babouch Moroccan Restaurant in San Pedro, CA! Shimmyshowcase made its spectacular debut at Babouch on Sunday, July 17, 2022 to a restaurant filled to capacity with a large crowd of enthusiastic Shimmyshowcase supporters, many of whom got up to dance with the performers in an impromptu grand finale to finish off a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Although the place and city have changed, Shimmyshowcase continues its original mission to provide a place where all dancers, from beginners to seasoned performers, are welcome to perform in front of a warm, appreciative audience. Performers and guests alike keep returning for the temporary escape from the stress of everyday life into this relaxing and fun environment to explore and enjoy middle eastern inspired dance. For most up to date schedule and dancer opportunities, please email us at Shimmyshowcase@gmail.com and we'll add you to our weekly email schedule. We hope to see you soon at Shimmyshowcase! >

Saviya presents USO Shimmyshowcase “for the troops” this Sunday!
October 17 - "Aunt Saviya" wants YOU to join us on this special evening for a unique Shimmyshowcase featuring a “40’s twist” with dancers Saviya, Sarah al Nour, Katerina, Tom&Eve, Marija, Del&Becky, Rebecca, and singing by the Sweeties! In the spirit of the United Service Organization (USO), this showcase is dedicated to our men and women in the armed forces. It is a special theme night, supporting our military overseas by sending them reminders from home! All tips collected this night go toward preparing and sending care packages to military in Afghanistan and Iraq. We encourage our guests to bring small, lightweight items for “care packages” to our troops. (For more information and suggested items, visit http://www.SanPedroPackagesForPatriots.com). Please join us for a fun show guaranteed to delight!

October 24 - With Halloween around the corner, Ilana of the Om Sisters presents the “Thrills and Chills Shivershowcase.” She’s cooking up a program which we know is guaranteed to be fun, especially with Siraj, Draca, Sabrina, Amber, and Tahira&Azira already lined up to play their dance tricks on our magic carpet.
