This June, SHIMMY SHAKTI TROUPE WELCOMES more than 50 dancers from across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and beyond will gather in New Orleans for an unforgettable celebration of movement, artistry, identity, and Pride.
Presented by @karlamarieshimmysoul and @studioshaktinola, CHROMATICA invites audiences on a vibrant journey through the colors of Pride- each hue representing a different emotion, experience, and chapter of the human story.
Through belly dance, fusion, theatrical movement, and contemporary expression, our performers will explore themes of love, joy, courage, transformation, grief, resilience, belonging, self-discovery, and liberation. Together, these stories weave a powerful reminder that our differences are not divisions—they are the very colors that make our communities beautiful.
Featuring performances by:
✨ Andrea Eggenberger
✨ Catherine Roche-Wallace
✨ Ditallu
✨ Gina Kaos Kennedy
✨ Gwenda Bourgeois
✨ Habibi Hips
✨ Iona
✨ Katie Jane
✨ Kiley Brinkman
✨ Ilea Bizarre
✨ Sacha Lynn
✨ Sassy Belles
✨ Toria Smith
✨ Vega Belly Dance
Your hosts for the evening,
Shimmy Shakti Troupe and
✨ Karla Marie
...and special performances by some amazing dancers and performers from New Orleans!
Whether you come for the artistry, the music, the community, or the celebration itself, CHROMATICA is an invitation to witness what happens when people show up fully as themselves and create something beautiful together.
Pride is beautiful. Movement is power.
