Shimmy Showcase Sunday

November 15: Xandra welcomes Meryem Vani, Marlena, Selene, and Veronique performing to Live Music by our guest musicians of Ansuz! This will be our last Shimmyshowcase with Live Music for the year, so please bring your friends and family for a great evening of live music & bellydancing at I-Candy Coffee where the staff is hot and the entertainment is hotter!

Everyone is invited to this cozy haven for a relaxing evening among friends. Select your favorite beverage, hot or cold, from an assortment of coffees, teas, smoothies or juice; add to that a tasty sandwich or pastry; and then seat yourself alongside our magic carpet to enjoy some really great dancing at NO cover charge!

The SHIMMY SHOWCASE begins at 7 p.m. at the I-CANDY COFFEE in Long Beach (1708 E. Broadway -- 562-437-3785).

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

November 22: Shimmyshowcase presents the 6th annual “RAQS THE CASBAH” with Alexiis. Rollin" down the street, you hear your favorite song on the radio and you think to yourself, "I wanna dance to THAT!" This All-Star show Features LA Tribal, Tribe of Astarte, Brandi, Denise, Freya, Mahalia, Perizad and Alexiis, as they raq it to some mighty fine booty shakin', funktastic, soul-riffic tunes. Come early...seats will move fast for this show!

November 29: No Shimmyshowcase – Happy Thanksgiving!

December 6: Saviya celebrates her birthday month by presenting “Gypsy Fire” with guest dancer (and fellow Sagitarian) Jheri and her troupe JJ & the Habibis. Come join this kumpania of lovely dancers as they party like gypsies on an evening of Rom inspired dance.
December 13: As the holiday season gets into full swing, Xandra welcomes duo Raks Bahlam and trio Kalista, Azira, and Tahira. These dancers will share their seasonal good will with the wonderful patrons of I-Candy as only belly dancers can do--through shimmies and undulations.

We just had a cancellation and a spot has reopened for one additional dancer, so if you would like to perform for this Shimmyshowcase, please contact us at Shimmyshowcase@yahoogroups.com.

December 20: Another great Shimmyshowcase year closes out with Alexiis bringing you the always-popular Mid-Winter’s Dream Shimmyshowcase.

Guest Dancers Rachel, Kalila, Sarah, and IrinaXara will express their seasonal or holiday dreams in the form of dance. Please join us for this year-end celebration of the holidays in dance!

December 27: DARK

January 3: DARK (Happy New Year!)

January 10: As the new year gets underway, and the cheerful goodwill of the recently ended holiday season fades, Shimmyshowcase returns to I-Candy Coffee with an apropos theme-- Post Holiday Blues! Coordinator Saviya brings back the ever-popular coupling of Blues music to bellydancing.

So, if you’re feeling a little down after all the year end parties and gatherings and dreading the bills that follow, come on down to I-Candy Coffee and treat yourself to some mighty fine dancing to some great American style music! Dancers who would like to perform for this evening are encouraged to contact us at Shimmyshowcase@yahoogroups.com as we expect spots to fill up fast!

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