Step into the most glamorous era of belly dance!
The 1960s and 70s were belly dance's most glamorous era — full orchestras in Cairo's glittering theaters, smoke-filled American nightclubs packed to the walls, and dancers who were movie stars in their own right. Cinematic, dramatic, and dazzling.
Summer Shimmy Nights brings that world back to life for one night only. Our dancers are bringing their best — faithful, loving recreations of an iconic era, with flashing swords, flowing veils, balanced candelabras, finger cymbals, and costumes dripping in vintage coins and beadwork, all set to the music that defined the age. No belly dance knowledge required. Just come ready to be wowed.
VIP TICKETS INCLUDE: Best seats in the house and an actual vintage belly dance vinyl record hand-selected by you from our collection! A real piece of the era to keep.
Don't wait! Our last show, Shimmy in Bloom, sold out — and this room is even more intimate. When the seats are gone, they're gone.
Dress the part (if you feel like it!) Feeling inspired? Break out your caftans, headscarves, big earrings, bold eyeliner, or your grooviest 60s and 70s looks — half the fun of a vintage night is dressing for one. But come as you are, too. There's no dress code, just good company and a great show.
