Check out the Shimmy Mob Brisbane page for all the photos and videos of this year’s event.

Shimmy Mob raises awareness of and funds for domestic violence services all over the world.

It was World Belly Dance Day on Saturday 9 May, and Shimmy Mob teams danced as one around the world.

The Brisbane team performed the 2026 choreography multiple times at Kelvin Grove Village Markets, and raised funds for, and awareness of Brisbane Domestic Violence Shelter.

Thank you Doug for some great photos and video, and thanks to Alana for leading us every year.

It’s that time of year again.

Tomorrow is World Belly Dance Day and some of Ruby Phoenix are in the Shimmy Mob Brisbane team at Kelvin Grove Village Markets.

We’ll be dancing this year’s Shimmy Mob choreography from 9:00am to 12:30pm and probably do a bit of audience participation too.

Hope to see you there!

Here we are wearing Tulle Bi Tally (Assuit) before our sword performance at the Synthesis Fusion Dance Festival on Friday night. We loved performing for you all, and learning all about this beautiful cloth.

The extravagant Dark Arts Cabaret is on tonight (Sunday) at the Wynnum RSL. And the Community Performers Bazaar and Funday is on the public holiday at the Municipal Arts Centre. You are sure to find lots of belly dance goodies at the stalls, and Shimmy Mob Cafe are there to raise funds and awareness of Brisbane Domestic Violence Service.

If you are very quick you can still come to a workshop or two this afternoon, (book at the door).

It’s International Dance Day!

We’ve brought our love of dance to many events since International Dance Day 2025. (Photos below of a few dancey memories.)

Today we are gathering to practice for Synthesis Fusion Dance Festival this Friday 1 May, and as part of Shimmy Mob Brisbane next weekend on World Belly Dance Day, Saturday 9 May.

Hope you have a little dance today too, and we’ll see you somewhere soon.
