“We have had a great time learning the moves over the past 10 weeks. Steve and Sue have made learning easy and fun.” Paul, Fareham
It’s time to learn The Shim Sham-the classic jazz era stroll that every swing dancer should know! The Shim Sham started life as a stage routine for tap dancers in the 1920s before being adopted by Lindy Hoppers in the ballrooms of Harlem. Legendary dancer Frankie Manning helped make it famous, and today it is danced at swing events all over the world. Whether you are completely new to this routine or want to refine your style, this workshop is the perfect opportunity to master the steps. Tonight’s Format: We are dedicating the evening to this iconic routine with a structured workshop format:
- Part 1 (Approx 1 hr): We’ll break down the first half of the routine, focusing on the signature steps.
- Social Break: A chance to grab a drink, practice what you’ve learned, or just freestyle to some great tunes.
- Part 2 (Approx 1 hr): We’ll complete the routine and look at styling, so you can dance it with confidence.
Why Learn It Now? This workshop is timed perfectly for our “Queens of the Savoy” Social next week (Feb 10th), where we’ll be playing the classic Shim Sham tracks so you can show off your new moves on the dance floor! Come and join the fun-no partner required! Event Details:
