Was in a sudden mood for the Shim Sham - good thing about it, it's a solo dance =D Goofing around in my own room instead. For those who are curious, here's a good wikipedia article about it - generally swing dancers do the shim sham nowadays, as do tap dancers .. but they kinda do it differently. Obviously the tap guys do their technical pitter-patter stuff, while swingers will do our swing moves as the emphasis instead. Found a nice video clip of the Dean Collins Shim Sham - I can't quite do this one, as the one I'm familiar with is the Frankie Manning version, but these 2 guys are obviously swingers. =p Quite like the joker on the left, he's funny!
Fast Swing Dancing
I miss dancing so much!! This is quite a nice clip, loads of lovely aerials and crazy dancing. I really don't see how these people can dance at this speed - it's possible, but I don't have the stamina to keep it up for more than a minute or so at this speed.
I like the punky-looking guy in the black t-shirt, he has some nice stuff up his sleeve.. never judge a book by it's cover? Although Yx will kill me if I led like that - his partner seriously has a lot of frame and counter-resistance to avoid having her arm yanked out.
