Jerome's World of Music & Dance

Have you ever watched Strictly and envied the couples spinning around the floor so effortlessly? If you love the thought of dancing with a partner, but have never tried it out, why not join my Beginner’s Jive and Swing course?

You will learn to dance using basic steps, which when used in sequence will give you the ability to dance with a partner to music, from the 1940’s and 1950’s, or with the feel of that era.

Shim Sham Shimmy Routine

Saturday 26th

Time: 2pm – 3pm

The Shim Sham Shimmy routine started as a late 1920’s tap routine often danced at the end of musical shows. At the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem some lindyhoppers did the shim sham as a group line dance without the taps and well known swing dancer and choreographer Frankie Manning introduced the version of the shim sham most commonly danced at swing dances today.
