The Shimmy Mob, opposite of a flash mob, raises funds and spreads awareness for community domestic-violence-prevention programs. On May 13, belly dancers around the world will dance the same choreography to celebrate World Belly Dance Day. All are welcome; no dance experience is required.

Participants must register by March 31 at www.shimmymob.com. Cost is $35 and includes a t-shirt. A portion of the registration fee will benefit the selected local charity.

Team leader Shelley Millsap will hold dance practice sessions for participants 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturdays at Durango Martial Arts Academy, 1129 Camino del Rio.
