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! >

~~ UPCOMING SHIMMYSHOWCASE EVENTS ~~


During 2015, SHIMMY SHOWCASE will take place on the third Saturday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at Viento y Agua Coffee House in Long Beach at 4007 East 4th Street; 562-434-1182.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

October 17 – Ilana and guest dancers Tamara Djinnise, Om Sisters, Amber Ray, Draca, Akasha Starr, Sara Al Nour, Suzanna, Christina Rizkallah, Galadriel, Tamara Stevens, Tasha, and Shaheen return to haunt Viento y Agua with the ever popular “Shivershowcase.”  Hints of scares to come indicate that this favorite Shimmyshowcase program, jam packed with a stunning performer line-up, is going to be a blast!  Everyone is encouraged to come in costume so you can be part of the frightful fun that these creative performers are cooking up for you!

November 21 – Draca (Gods and Goddesses) - Dancer Sign-Ups begin on October 21

 December 19  -- Saviya/Xandra (Once Upon a Time—A Shimmyshowcase Tale) - Dancer Sign-Ups begin on November 01!   Saviya and Xandra try something new and exciting for which they seek dancers who can incorporate a fairy tale concept in their routine.   Concepts may come from childhood fairy tales, fables, mythology, or other variations of fantasy stories.  Dancers desiring to be part of this new theme will need to provide their concept before they will be confirmed as performers for the December 19th program—which is why we’ve expanded the usual one month dancer sign-up period to allow more time for our performers to prepare for this special theme.   ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
