I posted about Shimmy Dreams belly dancing classes earlier this month, and now they are offering a monthly Ladies Night Out event with the first one being held August 24th.

From their website:

Your evening begins with light appetizers, wine, and sparkling beverages. While you mingle with your friends or make new ones, fabulous prizes will be raffled off.  Be sure to bring your camera for our fun photo opportunity: dress up in hats, sunglasses, and belly dancing accessories that bring out your “inner dream girl” and lets “strike a pose”.

Then the real fun begins with a sassy, silly, and sexy belly dance lesson. Learn the shimmies, shakes, isolation’s, and moves that make belly dancing so popular with stars like Shakira.  Including some sensual moves with a beautiful veil, group dancing, and balancing.

Finish the evening relaxing, enjoying more appetizers and drinks, and dancing to the latest music with your friends.

Samira Dawn has been hosting belly dance parties for 14 years. She is charming, entertaining, and brings tons of fun to the party. No belly dance experience is needed for this fabulous monthly party. Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. And come find “Your inner dream dancer”.
