So, several years ago on the Gypsy stage at Cairo Carnival in Glendale, CA, I saw a shimmy competition that was such fun that I wanted to recreate it for us. Here are t he deets for those who are curious -

VERY informal!
Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, can compete. No costume needed. If your hubby/signif, sibling, co-worker etc. wants to have some fun, teach them a basic shimmy and let them come enter!

$5 entry fee goes to The Center for Violence Free Relationships in El Dorado County.

The event will take approx. 15 min. You will be asked to pick up a shimmy and keep it going the entire time while I call out other moves to layer on top. The trick is, those other moves might not be bellydance moves at all. ;-)

It is just a bit of silly fun to raise $ for charity for our effort at "Hips are for Helping."


Peace and I'll see you all there!!
