Shimmy Mob Raises Awareness and Funds at LeClub Performance

On May 10, the Century Village East Shimmy Mob Team performed on the LeClub stage as part of a worldwide event to raise awareness for emotional abuse and domestic violence—one shimmy at a time.

Shimmy Mob is an annual global initiative where teams of women across the world perform a choreographed belly dance routine in a unified effort to support survivors and promote education. This year, 157 teams participated, along with 121 online performers, totaling 1,632 participants worldwide.

More than 50 residents attended the LeClub event, where audience members were also invited to join the dancers on the floor and take part in the fun.

The local team raised $227 in cash and received an additional $105 in checks. All proceeds will be donated to Women In Distress of Broward County, a nonprofit that provides critical services.

The CVE Shimmy Mob Team is already looking ahead to 2026 and hopes to welcome new members. For more information about Shimmy Mob or belly dancing, contact Katherine at 718-869-4177.
