You shimmied hard when the Ying Yang Twins told you to “sh-shake it like a salt shaker,” and after Shakira bragged that her “Hips Don’t Lie” you couldn’t walk for three days. By the way, your hips lied like a rug. So tonight give your shake a rest and watch some real pros at work, more than 200 dancers from age six to 66 shaking what their mama gave ’em at the Belly Dance Show 2007.

You’ll be mesmerized by the midriffs and hypnotized by the kaleidoscopic attire that enrobe the dancers who moonlight as belly dance students from Miami Dade College. And maybe you’ll pick up a tip or two on how to move your midesction in ways that won’t have people shaking their damn heads. The show starts at 8:00 p.m. at the Miami-Dade County Auditorium (2901 W. Flagler St., Miami). Tickets are available at the Miami-Dade County Auditorium Box Office or call 305-358-5885.
Fri., May 4, 8 p.m.
