In almost all swing dances around the world, everyone dances a very high group dance called Shim Sham. Our XJTLU Swing Dance Night (every Saturday) will not be missing this group dance every time. Are there any friends curious about what this is?
Shim Sham is arguably the anthem of the Lindy Hoppers on this planet.
The dance party in Shanghai will not lack Shim Sham,
Beijing's dance party will not lack Shim Sham,
Seoul's dance party will not lack Shim Sham,
Balls in Moscow will not lack Shim Sham,
Chicago and New York proms will not lack Shim Sham.
If one day you come to a swing dance club in a certain country, and the swing dancers there ask you to check a code to prove that you are a swing dancer, then dancing a Shim Sham can definitely prove your identity as a swing dancer.

After completing the Shim Sham class, you will know how Shim Sham works throughout the dance, and you will be able to show off your skills on the dance floor. We will analyze the rhythm of Shim Sham and teach you some step changes, etc., so that you can gain a deeper understanding of Shim Sham.
