Shimmy Showcase Sunday

December 12 – Abraiha is your coordinator for this Shimmyshowcase, and she welcomes guest dancers Ashley, Meryem Vani, Ana, and male dancer David to I-Candy’s magic carpet.

DANCER OPENINGS!— We have openings for Shimmyshowcases in January. Please read on for specific dates and themes and contact us at Shimmyshowcase@gmail.com for a performance spot!

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
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! If that isn’t incentive enough, there is even a 20% off coupon below good on any I-Candy food or beverage on Shimmyshowcase nights!

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

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 Bixby park located two blocks east 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.

Below is our upcoming schedule for the next several Sundays at the I-Candy Coffee in Long Beach. If you are a dancer interested in performing at an upcoming showcase, please check out the schedule below for open dates and then email us at

Shimmyshowcase@gmail.com

with the dates on which you'd like to perform.

December 19 - Shimmy Showcase coordinator Saviya celebrates her Birthday Sagittarius style with lots of friends, music, and laughter! Since Sags love to party we are going to start early-- at 5pm! A wide mosaic of dance styles will be presented by Sister Sag Jheri St James and Sisters in dance, Deborah, Bella, Nova Kachina, Aileen, and Sarah al Nour. Saviya asks no presents please, unless you would like to donate pet supplies to go to the Laguna Beach animal shelter that Saviya is sponsoring this year. Food, toys, even old towels and tight woven blankets can be used in the pens. So treat yourself to a new set of bath towels and donate your old ones! :-) It is Saviya’s birthday wish that you please join us for this last Shimmyshowcase of 2010!

December 26 – NO SHIMMYSHOWCASE—Happy Holidays!

January 2, 2011—NO SHIMMYSHOWCASE—Happy New Year!

January 9: Xandra celebrates the beginning of a new Shimmyshowcase year and her birthday with the exquisite Draca, Kamar, Meryem Vani, Adrianne and Maria performing on the Shimmyshowcase magic carpet. Her wish is that you come down to I-Candy Coffee and enjoy a fantastic show in a cozy and friendly environment. We’d like to start a little earlier for this showcase—at 6:30 pm—to allow time for cake during the break! Xandra prefers you not bring any gift other than your presence; however, if you simply can’t arrive empty handed, please bring something that would appeal to a teenage boy or girl; e.g. new or slightly used (clean and in good condition) clothing/accessories or other items a teenager would use/wear. Xandra will donate them to Casa Youth Shelter (www.casayouthshelter.org) where she volunteers.

January 16: Calling all ATS (American Tribal Style) fans for a “tribalicious” Shimmyshowcase as Ilana presents Desert Lotus Tribal, Sayuri Tribal, Synergy Tribal, and Little Lotus Tribal.

January 23: Saviya brings back by popular demand “Feathers & Fringe!” Those rhinestone whores return as Shimmyshowcase goes Burlesque. Guest dancers Delilah and Rebecca will shake their fringe and flaunt their feathers on I-Candy’s magic carpet. As of this announcement we still have a couple of dance spots open, but they are expected to go fast. If you think more is better but less is best, please email us at Shimmyshowcase@gmail.com for a performance spot.

January 30: Jannah goes back to the 20th century hippy era of the 60's and 70's with a psychedelic “flower power” theme night and calls all baby boomers to re-live their youthful days in dance. If you would like a performance spot (you don’t have to be a baby boomer to dance in this show!), please contact us at Shimmyshowcase@gmail.com .
