It is that time of year to dance for a good cause!

Shimmy Mob 2024 is starting.

What is Shimmy Mob?

It is an annual belly dance event that works to support those affected by emotional abuse and domestic violence. Proceeds from the events and merchandise go directly towards helping victims locally and worldwide.

How does it work?

Well, you can join virtually or in person with other dancers all around the world to learn a fun choreography. Then, on World Belly Dance Day (May 11), everyone performs the choreography together (flash mob) style. There are other events throughout the year, and depending on your participation option other fun choreos to learn. You get a great t-shirt to perform in and for memorabilia when you come out to dance with us!

How do you join?
You go to shimmymob.com and choose from one of 3 options for how you want to participate. If you sign up before January 31st you can get a discounted rate for any option you choose. Registration closes at the end of March. We will start learning choreos together in February.

I am leading a team for those on the east coast of Florida this year. So anyone from South Florida through the Treasure Coast is more than welcome to join. I would love to dance with you. I am located in Lake Worth Beach, Palm Beach County.

It starts off with a fun 21 day challenge featuring some of the top belly dance teachers of the world. The challenge starts on October 12th! It is great for the community and for learning extra skills. At the end of the challenge they offer the bundle which is a year's worth of classes at a deep discount with all the featured teachers.

Practice makes progress! 😉

Perfection is a silly goal. We all start somewhere, and we are all journeying to an end.

Zills are fun to fiddle with. I love sitting down to explore space. I feel this is the best way to really get the feel for your instrument. Allowing them to become second nature makes them easier to layer onto your dance.

They are pretty freaking awesome stand alone, as well.

New belly dance classes are starting in the next week or two.

Join me at Downtown Dance in Lake Worth Beach to learn a full, drum solo choreography over the next 4 weekends. We will meet on Saturdays from 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m beginning this week on 09/30/2023. This choreo is perfect for beginner/intermediate dancers! Classes are $15/each.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And if you are new to belly dance, shy to try a public class, or need the flexibility of online classes, then I have the class for you.

~~~ I will be hosting zoom classes starting on 10/19/2023 - 11/09/2023 . We will meet Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. - 8:15 p.m. EST ~~~
There is no need to worry if this time is an imperfect fit. I will be offering a recording for all attendees to use at their convenience.

The online classes are $15/each. If you are a new student to my classes, I would love to extend a free class when you sign up for the entire session. $45 for the full month.

I look forward to dancing with you!

A big part of why I love this dance is the music.

The variety and volume is endless. I am a huge music lover, and this art has offered so much more than I could ever dream of. Exploring back through the years lends to finding jewels that I never want to fade to time.

Gus Vali was an American of Greek heritage who loved promoting belly dance through his music.

Reveling in my blessings.

🥰 I had the most wonderful time teaching class today.

I love seeing ladies settle into all the possibilities their bodies hold on their dance journey.

It gives me time to reflect on all the talented and generous women who have been teachers on my journey.

Practice is the best teacher, and here is a piece of a combo session from the impeccable Sadie. 🥰

Acknowledge those who inspire you, we are all connected on this ever-expanding dance ❣

Dancing keeps my heart happy, my body strong and my mind clear. 🥰

Getting the opportunity to teach it to other ladies multiplies my joy exponentially 💃

Happy Friday to all!

🍁We have made it to another September and all of its blessings 🍂

I hope you take the moment to enjoy all of it ❣
