July 19: PARTY PARTY PARTY! Coordinator Abraiha celebrates a big milestone birthday with a big bash –and you’re invited. Dancing along with our honored coordinator will be May and other guest dancers.

July 26: Saviya presents “Bluesy Jazz.” Do you like some Jazz in your Blues or some Blues in your Jazz? Or either one straight up? For this theme night, if Blues or Jazz moves you, Saviya invites you to Coffee Haven for a sizzling summer evening of great dancing inspired by a great theme. Performance spots for this popular theme fill up fast, so dancers interested in performing are invited to contact us at shimmyshowcase@yahoogroups.com for a spot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please allow time for parking to avoid missing any of the fun. Since street parking around Coffee Haven is scarce, we recommend you try the perimeter of the park located two blocks west of Coffee Haven at Broadway and Cherry. Please try to arrive before 7:00 PM (earlier if you’re a performer!) as we try not to start the show until everyone has settled with a tasty beverage.
