What is the Best Song for Dancing the Shim Sham?
Answer:
Since this is a subjective question, I would say whatever song you want. However, if you want to dance to vintage swing music and follow in the footsteps of the original swing dancers, there are two popular versions.
“Tain’t what cha do” by Jimmie Lunceford and “Tuxedo Junction” by Erskine Hawkings. Both are great, but I prefer the former. Check out the free shim sham lesson along with 20 + online lindy hop classes for free.
