What is the Shim Sham?
The Shim Sham is the most iconic solo jazz routine from the swing era – originally created by tap dancers, famously brought to live by Franky Manning and now a beloved tradition in the Swing Dance community! At festivals, social dances, or warm-ups – when the music plays ‘Tain’t What You Do’, the whole scene joins in.
Why it will bring you joy
Swing dance is a holistic way to connect to your body, your mind, emotions. It connects you with history and creates humanity. It embraces human connection in its purest form, it combines musical therapy with body awareness, and it gives you an endorphins brain boost like no other activity. Become part of the swing dance community!
