You see it at the Saturday night dances at Glen Echo, Dabe and Janelle do it at their weekly dances every Sunday and Wednesday night, and now it's your chance to learn the Shim Sham! This line dance, based on a tap dance routine, originates in the 1920s and was quickly adopted by Lindy Hoppers. It is now routinely performed at dances and special events around the world.

Pre-registration is encouraged but not required; walk-ins will be accepted at the door.
