Today is World Lindy Hop Day, aka the birthday of legendary Lindy Hopper Frankie Manning! To Celebrate we are offering a low cost Shim Sham class tonight from 8-9PM with Taylor Marcus.

The Shim Sham is one of the most iconic solo jazz routines in the swing dance world. Originally created as a tap routine in the late 1920s, it later became a favourite in the Lindy Hop community thanks to Frankie Manning adapting and sharing the routine in the ‘80s! This routine is popular and is done at most swing dance socials & events world wide!

All levels are welcome- this is a beginner friendly routine!

Cost: $5 at the door
Instructor: Taylor Marcus
Date: Tuesday, May 26th
