So where did it all begin? Principal Sue Mahoney founded Shimmi Shake in 1997. Sue says “I had loved dancing since the age of 3 and took my first dance teaching qualification at 18. After twelve years in a career in the City I was ready to light my, previously hidden, entrepreneurial flame and I decided to put my professional dance teaching qualifications to good use by starting my own dance school.” “When Shimmi Shake was born in April 1997, I had just 3 pupils, by the end of that year the school had grown to 200 pupils. The driving force for growth came from identifying the need for good quality after-school dance tuition within local Primary schools, making it easy for parents and pupils”.
Shimmi Shake has built a reputation for being a quality-driven yet family oriented school with a name for professionalism and care among pupils and parents, teachers and schools. We work in schools in the boroughs of Bromley, Croydon and Bexley as well as in parts of Kent. Some classes are run outside schools in the evenings and at weekends (for more details see Timetable). Shimmi Shake presently has a class roll of over 800 students spread through 54 classes. We are proud of our achievements and work tirelessly to preserve our hard-earned reputation for quality and care in dance teaching.
What do people say about Shimmi Shake? "The children enjoy [Shimmi Shake] because it is fun and they like the loud music and the energetic movements." "We have watched our daughters confidence grow through Shimmi Shake and its a pleasure to watch her enjoyment in your class." "The Shimmi Shake team run a very efficient, polished and professional dance school". "You enable the pupils to obtain an all round experience together with the confidence and pride in their individual achievements". Where next? Opportunities for you? Shimmi Shake has big ambitions! We believe we have a unique approach to dance teaching that deserves a wider audience so we are looking to spread the ‘Shimmi magic’ through franchising the business. So if you are a dance teacher, or know someone who is, with a vision to run your own dance school and you would like to benefit from our proven track record to ‘hit the ground running’ please contact us for further details.
