Shimmy Showcase Sunday Aug. 12

August 12 – Coordinator Draca presents “Industrial Goth” featuring guest dancers Nova Kachina, Bella, Aleksia and Laura V. To help set the appropriate dark mood, we invite everyone to come dressed in your favorite Goth ensemble. If you don’t know what that is, just wear black! We hope you can come down and watch these wonderful dancers as they do the gothic shimmy.



Dancers—We have one opening left for September 9 with Amber, and Saviya is hosting another burlesque-themed showcase on September 23! Please see below for details; then contact us at Shimmyshowcase@gmail.com if you’d like to perform.



Everyone is invited 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 in the entertainment area to enjoy some really great dancing at NO cover charge!



SHIMMY SHOWCASE begins on most Sundays at 5:30 p.m. at Viento y Agua Coffee House in Long Beach at 4007 East 4th Street; 562-434-1182. Please refer to the detailed schedule below for more information about upcoming showcases and performance opportunities.



Please arrive at least 15 minutes before show time (30 min if you’re a performer!), so you can stop at the refreshment counter to get a delicious beverage, snack or sandwich; then head for the show area and grab a seat so you don’t miss any of our great performers!

September 23 – Saviya presents another popular Shimmyshowcase theme with “A Touch of Burlesque.” Think back to those days when Burlesque had its beginnings, when a glimpse of a thigh was scintillating, and shimmies scandalous. We invite dancers eager to incorporate a few elements of vintage burlesque in their belly dancing to reply to this email or contact us via Shimmyshowcase@gmail.com about performing. To avoid any misconceptions, please note the same “G-Rated” guidelines for all Shimmyshowcase programs apply to this one as well. All performances must be suitable for audience members of any age from 1 to 100!
