Sun, Sea, Sails & Shimmies

The Thetis Island Shimmy Mob Dancers (from the Gypsy Dancers of the Salish Sea) would like to send out a great big “Thank You!!!” to everyone who came out to watch and cheer on our team at Thetis Island Marina on Saturday May 9th, and to the generous donations that came from islanders and beyond.  Together we raised over $3400 in funds for Cowichan Women Against Violence (CWAV) and Somenos Transition House. Wow!!!! Thank you all!!!

Special thanks to Ron & Kelly Bannister and Trisha Hunter for technical support, videos and photographs, to the Thetis Island Regatta participants for letting us dance at their party, and to Paul Deacon for providing such an awesome venue for our performance.  The sun and sea, along with spectacular sailboats were excellent special effects!

For those who missed our performance, or would like to see it again, here's the video:

Shimmy on  ☺
