The most popular and well-known solo jazz choreography out there, Frankie Manning's Shim Sham is danced all over the world. This Lindy Hop line dance can be seen regularly at events and we'd love to have you join in! It is based on the original tap dance Shim Sham which was choreographed by Leonard Reed and Willie Bryant. It features classic jazz steps such as the Tackie Annie, the Half-Break, the Boogie Back, and the Shorty George. This class is a great intro to solo jazz dancing, and is open to everyone from first-timers to experienced Lindy Hop dancers!

Solo dancing doesn't have to be a solo experience! Inspired by the teaching and social dancing at Stompology, this workshop focuses on the tools to connect with the music of your fellow dancers while dancing solo. We will explore together how to expand our capacity to recognize and make invitations and responses in relation to the music, other dancers, and ourselves. Join us on our search for more ease, playfulness and connection in solo jazz on the social dance floor. No prior solo jazz experience needed!

Watch any video of Lindy Hoppers and you’re sure to see at least a few swingouts - some have even called it the true basic of the dance! You’ll start out by learning basic footwork and some simple partnered moves that lay the foundation for a successful swingout. By the end of the series you’ll be swinging out with ease!
