Al & Leon Shim Sham Workshop with Michael Jagger Syncopated City

https://syncopatedcity.com/workshops/ Al Minns and Leon James were two prominent Jazz and Lindy Hop dancers from Harlem. And while they might be best known as dancers in the famous Lindy Hop performance troupe, Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers, they were also amazing solo dancers, with several great routines in their canon. Michael Jagger will be teaching Al & Leon's unique version of the Shim Sham, which can be seen in Mura Dehn's documentary, The Spirit Moves. This routine makes reference, in moments, to the classic version of the Shim Sham, but there will be plenty of fun variations and new steps to excite even the most seasoned of dancers. All levels are welcome, but we do recommend that you familiarize yourself with the classic Shim Sham prior to attending this workshop. Price: $25 To join, go to https://syncopatedcity.com/workshops/ (link also in the details). Registering for the workshop will also give you one month of Membership to our site, allowing you to see recaps and break down videos plus full access to our entire catalogue of Swing Dance lessons (which includes the classic Lindy Shim Sham)!
