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 ~~


SHIMMY SHOWCASE takes place on the 3rd Saturday of the month at 6:30 p.m. for most of 2018  at Viento y Agua Coffee House in Long Beach at 4007 East 4th Street; (562) 434-1182.  

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

November 17 will be our last Shimmyshowcase of 2018.    Coordinators, Saviya and Draca, are already beginning to plan for their new, unique theme:  “The Elements.”  They are seeking dancers to choose their favorite element of nature and embody it in dance!  The opportunities are endless, spanning both Western and Eastern traditions (Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Wood, Metal, Salt, Sulfer, etc.).   And don’t forget modern Physics with 118 possibilities (the elements comprising the periodic table!).     If you would like to share your elemental artistry with our enthusiastic Shimmyshowcase family, please email Shimmyshowcase@gmail.com.                        

December – No Shimmyshowcase at Viento y Agua
