Everywhere!
At Shimmy Mob, we believe in the transformative power of dance to bring people together, raise awareness, and make a real impact. Founded in 2011 by the visionary Francesca Anastasi (aka Sabeya), Shimmy Mob is more than just a dance event—it's a global movement dedicated to supporting victims of domestic violence and promoting a message of empowerment and community.
Whether you're a seasoned dancer or just starting out, there’s a place for you in the Shimmy Mob family. Join us at our next event, spread the word, or support our cause in any way you can. Together, we can turn our passion for dance into a powerful force for good.
Explore our website to learn more about our upcoming events, how to participate, and the incredible impact we've made so far. Let’s shimmy for a cause that truly matters!
