Join us for the Shimmy Shakedown Spectacular Gala Show-16th Edition, next Spring on Saturday, April 11, 2026! Where we are taking it back to our roots, but moving in a new, beautiful and inspiring direction. A seed that was planted by Jizzelle, watered and is beginning to flourish.
Featuring a fabulous lineup of dancers, who are performing their own personal story on stage- a story that comes from within and a moment that reminds each of us why we dance.
All details are on our website and only very few spots to perform in the Gala Show. We look forward to seeing you in Spring 2026!
Please note: Shimmy Shakedown will not be offering workshops for 2026. Thank you for your continued support.
