Shimmy for Democracy: ⚔️Fight Fascism with Belly Dance⚔️
Workshops with Drake and Kamrah to raise money for James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa of Texas!
Sunday Sept 20, 12p – 3:30p CT
Y’all loved the last workshop weekend Kamrah and I did so much that we’ve decided to make it a quarterly event—and this time it’s a fundraiser! Kamrah and I are raising money for James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa to fight fascism in Texas.
Texas politics are notoriously corrupt and regressive, and we’ve recently taken a ton of hits to legislation on bodily autonomy, trans rights, immigration, medication management, among many other issues. In short, it’s a terrible time to be anything other than a rich white cisgender man in Texas, and it seems like it gets worse by the day.
BUT!! James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa are leading the Texas Democratic ticket this November. Talarico is running for Senate, and Hinojosa is running for Governor. They are committed to cracking down on the only minority ruining Texas—💰billionaires💰.
Let’s fight fascism with belly dance!! ⚔️🦅

You know how to layer, but are you ready for an advanced workshop that will challenge everything you know about how bodies are supposed to work, get you out of your belly dance rut, and possibly keep you up at night? Learn complicated polyrhythmic layers, flutters, and other things bodies aren’t supposed to be able to do, all presented in Kamrah’s humorous, compassionate, approachable teaching style, without being utterly demoralized.
And yes, there will be recordings available for those of you who need to tune in later!
