Shimmy Mob’s crazy ladies BELLY dancers will be shaking their hips on the streets of Brisbane as part of Shimmy Mob, a national event celebrating World Belly Dance Day on May 10. With performances scheduled nationally and internationally to raise funds for abused women and children shelters, Team Brisbane consists of 36 dancers, including one 10 year old girl. The mob will perform at multiple venues throughout the day, including West End, the CBD, Kangaroo Point and Ferny Hills. Belly dance merchandise and information on sponsoring charities will be available at the stalls in West End. “Shimmy Mob represents all styles of belly dance and audiences will be treated to a short show full of fun and variety. Worldwide Shimmy Mob has over 2300 dancers in 162 cities across six countries including Canada and Chile,” A DV Connect Womensline spokesperson said. “May is also domestic violence awareness month. With so many highly publicized domestic violence crimes in the last two years around Australia, Shimmy Mob aims to help bring DV Connect Womensline to the people who need their help the most,” they said.
