2nd Annual Spring Student Showcase & Amateur Choreography Contest

Posted in BayouShimmySTUDIO, Bellydance, Classes, Community, Festivals, Performances at 8:40 pm by shamsidances

Last year, BayouShimmy was proud to host our first Spring Student Showcase & Amateur Choreography Contest and this year we’re doing it BIGGER & BETTER!

Despite how much we love Cafe Mediterranean and how much support they’ve given us over the last year, we have apparently grown too large as a group to continue our events at Cafe Mediterranean, lovely restaurant…but not big enough for the 100+ people who tried to crowd into it last year!

This year we’ve moved our performance event to The Red Lion Hotel, just across I-10 from BayouShimmy, on Acadian Thruway

The Details for the Showcase and Contest are as follows:

7:00—8:30 PM
2445 S. Acadian Thruway, Baton Rouge, LA 70808
OPEN AMATEUR CHOREOGRAPHY CONTEST & STUDENT SHOWCASE!
$10.00— 1 Free with purchase of any ‘Class Pass’
