Shim Sham Shimmy

Beginning Shim Sham Shimmy Dance Video
Shim Sham Shimmy was originally designed to be the "show stopping" number in Vaudeville shows. Since the various acts changed all the time four well known tap dancing steps were strung together so the various acts could do the one last number together without a lot of rehearsal. The current incarnation of this line dance has been simplified from the original tap version so that it's accessible to non-tap dancers and is a favorite at many Swing conventions throughout the world.
