Shimmy Sanctuary

The countdown is on! ✨

For the past few months, our dancers have been working incredibly hard behind the scenes, preparing alongside Aphrodite Belly Dance Studio and Artist Souls for the Cape Town Carnival next weekend.

Long rehearsals, sore muscles, lots of laughter, and so much dedication have gone into getting ready for this incredible event. We are so proud of our dancers for the commitment, energy, and heart they’ve brought to every rehearsal. 💃

A huge thank you to and for bringing us into this beautiful collaboration - it’s been such a joy to create together ❤️

And a special shout out to .cloete.official for organising our Shimmy Sanctuary shirts so we can represent our studio with pride! 🙌

If you’re in Cape Town, come down and experience the magic of the Cape Town Carnival next Saturday. The atmosphere, the costumes, the music and the dancing are absolutely unforgettable - and we would love to see some familiar faces cheering us on! 🎉

📅 Saturday, 21 March
⏰ 6pm
📍 Green Point Fan Walk (Somerset Road), Green Point, Cape Town

Happy Birthday to our co-founder and teacher, Taryn! 💃

Wishing you a beautiful day that reflects your fire and the way you light up every room you enter 🔥

Thank you for everything you do for the Shimmy Sanctuary family. May the year ahead be full of sparkle, magical memories and countless moments that make you want to shimmy even more ✨

And for the next few weeks, our weekends will be filled with dance ✨

53 days to go to the next !
Rehearsals are underway, outfits start this week and all you need to worry about is making sure you attend this incredible event.

We’ve been flooded with messages from women saying, “I’ve always wanted to belly dance… but I’m just too far away!” 💃

So instead of letting distance be the reason you miss out, we’re bringing the dance to you.

✨ Online belly dance classes are launching THIS FEBRUARY!

And that’s not all - we’re also gearing up for a Belly Dance Bootcamp starting 2 February and it’s going to be SO good. 🔥

Want to know how the online classes work, pricing, and what’s included?

No more “one day.”
Let’s dance, wherever you are. 💌

Our 2026 class schedule and fees 💥

Dance shouldn’t be something you have to fit in, but rather something that fits in with you.

Drop in when you like and pay per lesson, join a monthly class based on your dance experience or bundle with 2 weekly classes and grow your fitness and technical skills.

Either way, we’re excited to see you in class ✨

Happy Birthday to our co-founder and teacher, Robyn!
Thank you for the unwavering support, kindness and love that you bring to our studio.

Wishing you a year filled with glitter, music and all the reasons to dance! ✨

We’re so excited to get back to classes this week. ✨💥
