As a lindy hopper, we are most often familiar with the Shim Sham version that Frankie Manning taught during his years as dance teacher. Common knowledge is also know that the original Shim Sham was created by Leonard Reed & Willie Bryant.
This longer version, many times performed by Frankie Manning & Chazz Young, might not be as familiar. There are some real nice variations in this one! Just as the more common one, this one is often performed to the song T'aint what you do- Jimmy Lunceford
We hope you will enjoy this version! We remember and will never forget Frankies awesome sense for choreography, timing and his warm laughter and voice!
Dancers: Fatima Teffahi and Gabriella Rosati
Music: Easy Swing - Swing Swingsters

WHEN RHYTHM MOVES US
A film project made out of inspiration - For us to remember, create and to hopefully inspire.
BACKGROUND
Through film, many generations of dancers, their expressions, styles and routines are remembered and kept alive. Our studies and this project is our contribution to this tradition. Many steps and all the routines are traditional and created during the1930s-1950s.
PARTS
Improvisation and choreography makes the different chapters in this film. Choreographies are filmed not only for sharing our favorite routines, but also to share an idea about expressions, style and rhythm based dancing. By sharing we hope to inspire others to follow their own unique voice, style and passion.
AESTHETICS
This project is a collaboration between Harlem Hot Shots - Stockholm, Karl Torstensson (Director), Hanna Kriisa (Director of Photography). Aesthetics was formed through a mash up inspired by simplicity, old school light design and todays modern film techniques. Modern high quality cameras was used with 1960s lenses to create highest quality photage with softer contrast and definition. Room and lights are inspired by Spirit Moves by Mura Dehn (1940s). No distractions, only pure dancing.
--------------------
DANCERS
The Harlem Hot Shots is a group of dancers profoundly inspired by the greats of the jazz era. Representing styles that originally derived out of Harlem during the prime time of swing. Rhythm, improvisation, personal expressions - freedom.
This film is a part of a collection of traditional swing dance choreographies we filmed for the help of spreading knowledge on the origins and original styles in swing and jazz dancing. Filmed in an environment with no distractions. The idea is to give a clear picture of the original rhythms and movements uniquely interpreted by each individual dancer.
By making this film we also want to thank all dancers that contributed to these dance styles and choreographies. For originating these styles and steps. For choreographing them and sharing your passion with the world. Dancers such as Frankie Manning, Norma Miller, Esther Washington, Chazz Young, Sugar Sullivan, Albert Minns, Leon James, The Whitey's Lindy Hoppers, the hole cast of The Spirit Moves, Mama Lou Parks and her dancers, Mabel Lee, Dawn Hampton with your endless joy and many many many more.
