So You Want to Learn The Shim Shim...

On October 1st we will have a special Shim Sham class taught by Sophia.

The Shim Sham is a line dance that started out as a tap dance in the 1920's. It was later adopted and modified by swing dancers as a line dance that community members could dance together.

It consists of a series of jazz steps and it is a very beginner friendly line dance.

You will find the Shim Sham performed at many of your local swing dances and, well, it's just fun.

Here is a classic video of Frankie Manning and Erin Stevens performing the Shim Sham:

We will be charging students $10 for this special class.

We take Venmo (@NoCo-SwingDance ) or cash or check on or before the first night of the class. Please arrive early so we can get you checked in. Also, if you know you will be attending, please email us so we can get a head count at [nocoswingdance@gmail.com](mailto:nocoswingdance@gmail.com). We would like to know if you would like to lead or follow and which class you would like to attend.

Feel free to park in the back lot/bank parking - after 6pm is FREE.

We ask that you wear light color sole shoes (or dance in socks) to protect this historic floor.

Please do not show if you are feeling ill since this is a social and partner dance. We do not require that you are vaccinated but it is highly recommended.

Please remember that NoCo Swing Dance is a very beginner friendly community, and we love new dancers.
