I'm a street swing dancer with no formal dance training. I've been doing the Shim Sham Shimmy for 20+ years, knowing it began as a tap dance, but I haven't ever seen (or watched a tutorial of) the tap dance. This was such a pleasure to watch! It brought tears to my eyes! Thanks for your comments at the end, Hillary-Marie.

I love this tutorial. I can't tell you how many times I've watched it, and because of you, I have learned the Shim Sham Shimmy!!!! I really needed help on the Tacky Annie and the Half-Break, and you provided it. My tap teacher will be very pleased since I'm ahead of the game. We aren't even learning half the stuff in this dance until winter classes. THANK YOU!

Hillary, Thank you so much for posting this. I learned the shim sham at my class but couldn't remember everything and wanted to practice at home. Your video took me through it and now I got it by heart. just need to keep on practicing to improve speed but the steps are down! Thank you for taking the time to do this. Hugs and all the best from the south of brazil.

When you do the step heel step heel step for a little spice you can do a heel scuff. If you are going to the right do a heel scuff ball change and do the other side

@johnharpdalton4092 Год назад

Dear Hillary-Marie, we love this lesson and we've nearly got it down, but... The hardest part is the Shave & A Haircut, those four RAPID taps after the clap and both feet down... PLEASE can you explain what you do there? We've got the clap, the two-feet.... and then the last heel-tap is clear, too! Thanks in advance from John and Carole in Yorkshire, England!

Would love the English count system overdubbed on to this please - so as I always taught - 8-a-1, 2-a-3-,4-a-5-n-6-n-7 etc etc. Struggling to write the counts down from your demo

Well explained, clearly demonstrated - and good to see custom shoes rather than those awful ready made rivet things. Are you using capezios? They are my favourite for clear sound.

Your tap shoes😍 can you tell me the brand?! Love them!

@melizmatea 2 года назад

I'm a beginner and just learning this butit seems like you are flat on your foot (not counting stomping) a lot! I've been learning, not just the shim sham, but a lot of things in which you remain on your toe and don't put your heels down. It does seem more "tap-like" the way you are doing this, but I am confused as to why we aren't doing things that way! I don't know if that made sense! I'll have to ask my teacher...

@robertschoenberg3972 3 месяца назад

Hello, Thank you for the great tutorial on the shim sham! I am trying to build up speed on the shim sham step 1. It appears that on the full speed version of the dance at the end, you are gaining speed by modifying the ball change done in the syncopation to a "touch" on one foot and a "heel drop" on the other. Thus never doing a weight change and gaining speed. Is this correct, or an illusion on my part. I slowed down the vid to .25 speed and that's what it looked like. Thanks for any advice!

I don't know the dance yet but if you told me how to add the cc I would enter the dialog. Maybe someone who knows how to write the rhythm could do the 1n 2n 3 4 kind of notation.
