About Shimmy For Fun

Hello Beautiful Soul. My name is Annyse and I’m the owner of Shimmy for Fun!

My journey into Belly Dance was one of synchronicity. In the early 2000s I was yearning to try something new, fun and nourishing for my soul. One day I was uptown and saw a community recreation guide. Intuitively I picked it up and randomly opened it. The first thing is saw on the page was Beginner Belly Dance. I’ve always enjoyed dancing so I figured why not take some classes and the rest is history! I’ve been shimmying ever since.

I’ve been a teacher and danced professionally for many, many years. Although I’ve had to step away from it a few times in my life, I always end up coming back home to it! Belly Dance it is an excellent way to celebrate the feminine journey and honour your body, whatever shape and size. It is also a fantastic workout  and it’s a lot of fun!

My intention is to share the beauty, joy and sacred femininity it activates with as many women as I can. May we all navigate our journey with self- love, kindness, laughter and, of course, shimmies!
