10/20/2024 | 1-2:30 PM | $25 | Shim Sham Shimmy
The Shim Sham Shimmy, created by Leonard Reed and Willie Bryant in the 1920s, began as a lively routine featured in Vaudeville shows. Originally performed by chorus girls, it quickly became a staple of tap and jazz culture and later became a popular closing number for dancers & musicians. Tap dancers all over the world know this dance, and it’s commonly thought of as the tap dancer’s anthem. This dance uses four popular steps of the period: the Shim Sham, the Crossover, the Tack Annie, and the Half Break.
