The next SHIMMY SHOWCASE will be on Saturday September 20, 2014 at Kasra Persian Cuisine in Richardson, TX!

R.S.V.P. Here!

Vanessa Lynn Freedman and Sa'diyya have been collaborating for several months, and they are excited to share their creations!

Don't miss the wonderful dance workshops which will be taught both together and individually by Vanessa Raqs, who's coming direct from Cairo, Egypt (the homeland of Belly Dance!) where she lives and works as a professional dancer and instructor - And by Sa'diyya, who just got back from a month long tour of South East Asia teaching and performing as the headlining artist at an array of belly dance events which attracted students from India, The Philippines, Thailand and China in order to study with Sa'diyya!

Register HERE for workshops!
All workshops limited to 12 students, except "Performance Skills & Drills" limited to 6 students only. First come, first serve!
