Thanks for posting this! I'm an old lady working on the shim sham and I did it along with your video today!!

I love seeing all the different ways the Shim Sham is performed. I was taught VERY differently. 😊😊

There are a lot of different variations out there, including a Lindy Hop/Swing Dance version. The tap dance version was the original and I try to stay relatively true to the original Leonard Reed version.

@@MaryWallTapDance I will have to look those up! My tap teacher taught us using a lot of shuffles and hardly any stamps (if that makes any sense) lol. I've noticed a lot of groups are more relaxed on their heels and I honestly feel like it brings a bit more groove to the combinations. Not so stiff like the way I do it :)
