If you've ever been swing dancing I'm sure you have seen a version of the Shim Sham Shimmy. It's a 1920s line dance made popular once again with today's dancers by  Frankie Manning. This routine was originally a tap routine and is credited to Leonard Reed & Willie Bryant. It's a must for anyone who calls themselves a Lindy Hopper!

We are delighted to host a fabulous dance event showcasing Sussex Swing and dance themed collections from the Mass Observation Archive and The Keep.

 

They've got a fantastic display of archives ready to show everyone about social dancing and vintage fashion. RObert and i will be teaching some dancing and I'll also be doing a vintage hair workshop in the afternoon
