Sometimes, when I'm sad, I watch a shim sham and I get happy agaon

[@davidhundt7697]

I remember at all of Frankie's workshops, this was a fun warm up dance. He was such a joy.

[@choiie]

For anyone curious like me, the guy leading the Shim Sham appears to be Chazz Young, the son of the late Frankie Manning! Legendary!!!

[@pipiwilson7854]

2:24 I love that the tall guy to the right chose to dance with both women. That was so cool. I 💞this!

[@alysiaholwerda1201]

I couldn’t take my eyes off of him the entire time. Sooooo smooth. I wish I could have half of that grace and pizzazz.

[@pipiwilson7854]

@@alysiaholwerda1201 I opened your comment and had to watch this again. In my time of grief seeing so many smiles brought on the happy,ugly,joyful tears😂

[@crockkett]

@@pipiwilson7854 i know you posted this 2 yrs ago but hope it was nice to watch & brought a smile to your face in what ever difficult time you were goin through 😊😊

[@crockkett]

I was taught this at my lindy classes & was certainly fun to do when you remembered the whole routine, bit more difficult if you were doin it in public to an audience

[@zenaidaneduasa3831]

He even did Frankie vice effects.I enjoy watching this makes me want to join.

[@KaeFrost]

[@BredorTheComputer]

Like the part when you do shim sham steps in fins :D

[@pingpong4811]

Such a great song ruined by a boring routine everyone HAS TO dance when it is being played... what a waste of a good song.

[@normanzwane1985]

Couldn’t skip?

[@henryhagenbuch35]

Sounds like someone’s a little jelly because they didn’t get invited to the shim sham
