Shimmy Into Spring - A Five Week Series


  • Uptown Dance Studio 14355 Southwest Pacific Highway Tigard, OR, 97224 United States (map)

Get ready to bring power, joy, and unstoppable energy into your dance!
This five-week shimmy series dives deep into one of the most iconic and expressive elements of FCBD®Style—the shimmy. Whether your shimmy is brand new, a little shy, or already strong and ready to level up, this series will help you find clarity, confidence, and endurance in your movement.

Each week, we’ll explore the building blocks of a relaxed, sustainable shimmy: posture, breath, grounding, strength and balance. You’ll learn how to create shimmies that are supple and extra bouncy while still feeling organic and effortless.

We’ll practice shimmies in place, traveling, layered with steps, and integrated into classic FCBD®Style vocabulary—giving you both the technique and the musical awareness to use your shimmy with power and intention.

Shimmies & Concepts We’ll Explore:
• ¾ hip shimmies (half-time, full-time, and everything in between)
• Shoulder Shimmies
• Reverse Shimmies
• Layering shimmies
• Shimmy combinations
• Musicality and expression

You’ll finish these four weeks feeling grounded, energized, and fully in command of your beautiful shimmy.

Mondays 6:30pm – 7:25pm

Price for full five week series: $60
