Shim Sham at Swing Cats
Nov 14, 2008 Swing Cats
This Tuesday (Nov 18) we’re going to be having a Shim Sham class! The Shim Sham is a dance routine that was once a tap routine, but now is a line dance popular among swing dancers, although there are many variations. It is only about 10 phrases of choreography so it doesn’t take up a full song. Typically when the choreography is over dancers grab a partner to finish the song. It can be danced to several different songs, some popular ones are Tuxedo Junction by Erskine Hawkins or the Shim Sham Song by the Bill Elliot Swing Orchestra.
Here’s a little preview (or review if you’re watching this after the class):
