The Shim Sham may be the national anthem of tap, but it is one of the cornerstones of Lindy Hop line dance. Lindy Hoppers and tap dancers all over the world know it, so when you do the Shim Sham, you're connected to jazz loving people everywhere. I don't prefer to spend a lot of time pausing and breaking down simpler movements, so, in addition to talking about this history, we'll be dancing a LOT in this video. Hope you have fun!
