Wednesday Night Hop | Shim Sham | Lindy Hop | Social dance | 31/5

May 31, 2023 @ 18:00 - 22:30

Welcome to Cats’ Corners swingin’ Wednesday Night Hop at Moriska Paviljongen.

Last Wednesday night hop is the 14th of June. See schedule: https://bit.ly/swingcalendar

Tonight we open at 18:15 as we have an exciting opportunity for you to explore the iconic solo dance known as Shim Sham. This dance holds great significance within the Lindy Hop dance scene, as it is considered a fundamental skill. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced dancer, we warmly welcome you to join our workshop and discover the sheer joy of solo jazz dancing.

The Shim Sham is not just a routine; it carries a deep reverence for the legacy of the swing era. It serves as a symbol of the tight-knit community that thrives within the Lindy Hop community. We invite you to be a part of this celebration and experience the beauty and camaraderie that come with it.
