People of all genders, backgrounds and body types are welcomed and affirmed. This class is open to people 18+.

What Should I Wear?

Yoga or exercise clothing is best. Bare feet or indoor-only dance shoes like ballet or jazz shoes work well. Tie a scarf around your hips and you're ready to shimmy!

What if I miss a class?

Six-class cards are good for 8 weeks and can be used at any or all Shimmy Time classes (Lunchtime Wed/Fri, Evening Thu), so you can miss two classes without having your card expire. And you can rejoin the class with a new card or drop in at any time!
