Shimmyshowcase debut at Jade, September 17, 2023

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! >

Saturday, July 16 at 6:30 PM: Photographing Fairies -- Special guest coordinator Katerina presents a peek into that Victorian era when everyone was talking about the fairies caught on film.  Come photograph your own fairies!  Victorian Photographers and Fairy guests receive a special treat, including door prizes for Queen Titania's favorite costumes.  Creativity is encouraged in her realm.  Many of her lovely fairies, of both the light and the dark variety, will be gracing Viento y Agua's stage on this warm summer evening.

 Our Victorian hostess will guide explorers through fantastical adventures, and she is casting her net throughout the realm in order to present them the most peculiar curiosities and dazzling pleasures.  Contact Katerina at KaterinaBD@aol.com for more information, and to book your spot on the fairy stage.   .
