So You Want to Learn The Shim Shim and the Mama Stew!

On April 29th we will have a special Shim Sham and Mama Stew class taught by Sophia. The Shim Sham lesson will be at 6:30 and the Mama Stew lesson will start at 7:30. The Shim Sham is a line dance that started out as a tap dance in the 1920's. It was later adopted and modified by swing dancers as a line dance that community members could dance together. It consists of a series of jazz steps and it is a very beginner friendly line dance. You will find the Shim Sham performed at many of your local swing dances and, well, it's just fun. Here is a classic video of Frankie Manning and Erin Stevens performing the Shim Sham: https://youtu.be/bjfM4Wrj9UI and here is the Mama Stew: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_a_dRIJEnE We will be charging students $10 for individual classes and $15 if you take both. We take Venmo (@NoCo-SwingDance ) or cash or check on or before the first night of the class. Please arrive early so we can get you checked in. Also, if you know you will be attending, please email us so we can get a head count at [email protected]. We would like to know if you would like to lead or follow and which class you would like to attend. We ask that you wear light color sole shoes (or dance in socks) to protect this historic floor. Please remember that NoCo Swing Dance is a very beginner friendly community, and we love new dancers. No partner is ever needed. Come dance with us.
