The 2025 Berkeley Springs Shimmy Mob dance team performed on May 10 in the Town of Bath, bringing in over $9,100 in individual, small business and corporate donations for domestic violence survivors.
Shimmy Mob is a worldwide dance event that occurs annually on the second Saturday in May. Teams across the globe perform to raise awareness and funds for survivors of domestic violence in their home communities.
The Berkeley Springs Team raises money for Stepping Stones to a Brighter Future,
a non-profit human service agency whose mission is to provide financial, emotional and life skills assistance to survivors of domestic violence in Morgan County, West Virginia.
“The team did an outstanding job of performing the dance routine, bringing awareness to the community and raising record levels of donations from individuals and businesses this year,” said Angela Petry, local belly dance instructor and Shimmy Mob Team leader. “This is our thirteenth year of participating in Shimmy Mob. We are so grateful to our hardworking volunteers and technical crew, and we could not be more pleased with the outpouring of support from the community.”
