HA-CHAN, SHAKE YOUR B***Y! | Official Trailer (2026) 11/10/2026

This weekend we have the absolutely delightful new film, Ha-Chan, Shake Your B***y! The premise probably feels somewhat familiar: a competitive ballroom dancer loses her partner - both in life and also on the dancefloor - and spirals before re-discovering herself through dance and, particularly, the handsome instructor teaching it.

But here's the thing: it is the movie you're expecting, and also, in so many ways, not that film at all. There are so many moments of this story that veer off into the most charming of chaos, serving as perfect reminders that processing grief and moving on are messy and complicated things. And the dance numbers are just pure joy.

Take a chance on this one; you won't regret it.

We heard you might be looking for that Holiday Schedule - if you head over to https://www.normaltheater.com/ you can see what we've got cooking so far...

Please note that this is NOT everything, and that there are still films and screening times to be added. If you see something missing that we show every year, there's a good chance that we just can't announce it quite yet.

(And don't forget all the other great films we have queued up for the rest of November - Ha-Chan, Shake Your B***y! is a favorite of 2026.)

See you soon!
