Swing Kids at UW Shim Sham Lesson
September 24 @ 12:30 pm–1:30 pm
Join Swing Kids at UW to learn the Shim Sham! The Shim Sham is a jazz line dance done at Lindy Hop social dances, including at Reverie Ballroom at our Sunday outing. To learn the Lindy Hop partner dance as well, you can also join us at our Sept. 26 lesson.
Swing Kids at UW are a group of college students dedicated to learning Lindy Hop swing. Lindy Hop is a partner dance developed in the 20’s and 30’s in Harlem, NY. Born from African rhythms and European structured dance, the style consists of 6 and 8 count steps borrowing footwork from Charleston and Tap. UW Swing Kids teach and encourage the university’s community to learn the joys of swing dancing through affordable weekly lessons, quarter dances, and social outing opportunities.
