HI again! I love your dance so much. I would really like to learn it. Do you have the step written down? (or does the teacher?)

Thanks! :)

[kbaughma]

I don't have them written down :( And I'm not in touch with our instructor anymore. It's a very standard dance, so I would imagine you could find the steps online somewhere?

[cinematikwoo]

you can buy the vhs tape of leonard reed teaching it on amazon. it's very simple and well-taught.

I think the women on the far right in the front is my aunt! She taught me that dance and she was directer of Columbus Taps! Thats so cool! I love the chim sham!

[AerobicManiac]

Again..I love watching this. Cute. :) Can you please tell me the name of the song and who is the artist?

Can I order this song on I-tunes? Thanks. :)

[kbaughma]

"Leonard Reed's Original 32 Bar Riff for The Shim Sham Shimmy". You can find it on Itunes.

[AerobicManiac]

Thank you so much! :) Love it! :)

[kbaughma]

I asked my teacher the name of the song...you can see it in the response to the comment above yours on YouTube.

[brenty2006]

Hey, what's the name of this song?

[kbaughma]

[AerobicManiac]
