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

October 11: Join us for a potpourri of bellydance with Live Music by Ansuz! Coordinator Saviya and guest dancers Katerina, Lapis and Athena Najat (from Greece-- http://laraqs.com/workshops_greece ) will mesmerize you with their exquisite displays of the spectrum of middle eastern style dancing. If you would like to perform to the melodies and rhythm of our featured musicians, please contact us at Shimmyshowcase@yahoogroups.com. for a performance spot.

October 18: Shimmyshowcase welcomes Ansuz for another evening of dancing to Live Music!

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! Frightfully talented guest dancers Meryem Vani, Jennelah, Draka, Tehani, and Nichole will thrill you with their beautifully haunting moves. Be sure to mark your calendars and come to I-Coffee this evening as this will be one Halloween treat you won’t want to miss!

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, Gaea, and Jessica for an amazing evening of top entertainment you won’t want to miss. Please bring friends and arrive early to hear some evocative music with vocals--International, classic jazz/ blues standards and international--as you enjoy refreshments from the menu. You can check out Elan at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozSIvy7m8rQ

November 8: Please come down to I-Coffee for another evening of great belly dancing. Guest dancers IrinaXara and Veronique have already signed on to perform for you, and Abraiha and Xandra seek other dancers who would like to perform. If you are interested, please contact us at Shimmyshowcase@yahoogroups.com.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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.
