UPCOMING SHOWCASE CALENDAR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

September 27: “Fringe and feathers” is the theme for this Shimmyshowcase. If you are a fan of vaudeville, old fashioned burlesque and love glam and glitter, this is the show for you! Our creative coordinator Saviya will be joined by Maria Elena, Devon, Xandra and the Om Sisters. This is always a fun theme, so please come down and let us entertain you!

October 4: Shimmy Showcase founder Alexiis presents her students for this special evening of American Tribal Style (ATS) Inspired dancing at I-Candy Coffee. In addition to her students, she is proud to welcome Sister Studio Teacher, Sooz, and her lovely students. It is annual student recital night at Shimmy Showcase!

October 11: Saviya presents “Gothic Inspiration” with Live Music by Ansuz! Saviya and guest dancer Katerina will mesmerize you with dance images drawn from the dark fantasy amid the mist, whispers and candle light. Dancers who hear the call of the midnight butterfly, raven, and shadow goddess please contact us at Shimmyshowcase@yahoogroups.com. for a performance spot.

October 18: Shimmyshowcase welcomes Ansuz for another evening of dancing to Live Music! Coordinator Alexiis welcomes guest dancers Kamar, Masa, and male dancer Siraj who will perform with this very nice group of talented musicians. We could add another dancer, so if you would like to be part of this Shimmyshowcase, featuring live music plus some high caliber dancing, please contact us at shimmyshowcase@yahoogroups.com.

October 25: Xandra returns for a scary night of dance—no, not because she is dancing, but because it’s our annual Shimmyshowcase Halloween show! Meryem Vani, Jennelah, and Draka have already signed on for this fun theme night. We have room for one more dancer to thrill our audience with haunting moves. If you’re interested, please contact us at shimmyshowcase@yahoogroups.com.

November 1: GREAT NEWS! Elan (Marguerite & Rico) return to play for another Shimmyshowcase. This talented duo draws from a broad repertoire that encompasses not only middle eastern rhythms and melodies, but a whole lot more besides! Coordinator Saviya also welcomes guest dancers Kalila, Saphira and Gaea for an amazing evening of top entertainment you won’t want to miss. Please bring friends and arrive early to enjoy pre-dancing singing by Marguerite as you enjoy some refreshment from the menu. You can check Elan out at:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please allow time for parking to avoid missing any of the fun. Since street parking around I-Candy Coffee is scarce, we recommend you try the perimeter of the park located two blocks west of I-Candy Coffee 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.
