Shimmy Showcase Sunday

GREETINGS to Dancers and Friends of the Sunday evening SHIMMY SHOWCASE!

To those of you who came to our 5th anniversary party last Sunday, a big THANK YOU for making that showcase one of our best attended ever. To those of you who arrived too late to get a space inside and had to stand outside and look in through the windows--we're sorry there wasn't enough room for everyone. But what a great start to year 6 of the Coffee Haven Shimmy showcase! We have many more evenings of great dance ahead, (and alot of openings for dancers who want to perform!), so please read on for details!

Everyone is invited to come out, have a cup of Java, munch on something yummy and enjoy some really great dancing FOR FREE!

Below is our upcoming schedule for the next several Sundays at the Coffee Haven Internet Cafe in Long Beach. If you are a dancer interested in performing at an upcoming showcase, we are still looking for dancers to fill in the last three Sundays in April and in May too! Please check out the schedule below for open dates and then email us at
shimmyshowcase@yahoogroups.com
with the dates on which you'd like to perform.

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

If you'd like to perform, please contact Alexiis or email us at ShimmyShowcase@yahoogroups.com soon!

May 18: NO SHOWCASE—It’s Gay Pride Day in Long Beach and the parking is many times worse than usual! We’ve found it’s better to take this night off and prepare for the big Memorial Day weekend Shimmyshowcase. See you then!

Please allow time for parking to avoid missing any of the fun, so be sure to be at the coffee house well before 7:00 PM. We try not to start the show until everyone has settled with a tasty beverage.
