Обожаю такой формат обучения: молча и по делу, только движения и ноги крупным планом!) Вот так мы и учимся потихоньку...Спасибо

[@abelborges3087]

Amei

[@iamsetset]

Very nice and so smooooooth! I sure wish it was a back view though, whic, as I am sure you know, makes it so much easier to follow you, dance along etc. Thanks

[@rnbsteenstar]

Shimmy it out!

[@SyncopatedCity]

Will do! x-D

[@laurab9928]

He is the cutest

[@SyncopatedCity]

Thanks Laura (though his ego needs no inflating!) We're glad you like the videos, and keep swingin'

[@Baribrooks]

very nice! Is it possible to learn jazz/swing routines on carpeting? Or is it too much torque on the knees?

[@SyncopatedCity]

I would probably suggest not trying anything that causes pain, which sounds obvious, I know. But there was definitely a time in my life when I didn't think twice about dancing on concrete or in rubber-soled shoes. Nowadays, the body isn't as forgiving, so I'm a bit more cautious. In short, I wouldn't try to dance on carpet if the movement hurts, but if you're ok with it then I say go for it!

[@darlenehunter4689]

Guess I like the original Shim Sham❤️👯‍♀️

[@hiddenintheshadows6905]

So I am doing tap dance and next week we are learning that step

[@janedoe805]

Loved your Shim Sham, your outfit you were very smooth! Did anyone notice the old man who appeared in the window in the building behind he at *0:49? 👻

[@SyncopatedCity]

good eye, thank you ;-)

Can you please add subtitles to this video so we can learn what the caller says when, @evitaandmichael? This is a great ice-breaker for parties - especially when there isn't a good lead-to-follow ratio! Here's the Shim Sham with a caller - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJS4gYyhf7Zlb9U

Where is the style? Move your upper body. Get your arms involved. You just seem stiff. The steps are great though; concise and well taught. Thanks for sharing.

[@avyannamartinez1440]

That's not how you do it these are the step:step spank step step spank step step spank ball change step spank step

[@SyncopatedCity]

thank you and dually noted

[@elliemay8389]

There's different ways to do it

[@gaborh.6790]

Maybe it is not how it's done, but it doesn't have to be done by the holy book of jazz steps. I like the way he moves and he seems to get great joy out of it. Look at his face and the way he moves....it is more than obvious. :)

[@jtika1978]

That's the tap version you're referring to.

[@nickshankland]

sadly does not sync to the music - nice dancing tho

[@SyncopatedCity]

Thanks for watching! Out of curiosity, what part looks out of sync to you? We can fix it with a quick edit, if need be ;-)

[@nickshankland]

Syncopated City particularly bad right near the beginning. did you overdub the music? (really is nice dancing tho!)

[@barryhunt8527]

That aint no shim sham
