...ever been at a swing dance party happily swinging away on the social dance floor until the music stops, people spread and gather around in a circle getting all excited and shouting:
"Now let's do some Shim Shamming!!!!"
...do you find that this very moment is accompanied by yet another internal sense of panic fuelled by the realisation that your mastership of all those new steps that you learned in class yesterday is really not all that???...
...at this moment, do you find yourself retreating into your shell of normal "non-dancing person" frightenedness suddenly deciding that you are really thirsty and slipping off the dance floor???....
...well fight the urge to disappear, take on the challenge....
...tackle the Shim Sham...
...don't tell anyone you've practiced religiously alone in the privacy of your own home...
...turn up to the next party...
and
...Shim with no shame...
The Al & Leon Shim Sham
a.k.a. The Savoy Shim Sham
