This workshop teaches students with minimal tap dance experience the Shim Sham Shimmy, a classic dance considered by scholars and historians to be the "tap dancer's anthem." Great fun to learn and perform, the "Shim Sham" has vital connections with African Drumming and Jazz Music that are explained and illustrated. Tap dance students looking for more versions of this great Classic American Dance/rhythm should consider attending the Shim Sham Craze course taught each year at the National Tap Seminar.
