Frankie Manning was a godfather of swing dance. He was one of the original Harlem swing dancers and a wealth of swing knowledge. He passed away a few years ago. 

The Shim Sham is a type of swing line dance that gets broken out in swing communities. This video beautifully illustrates the fantastic swing community around the globe. Swing dance and swing music is such an expression of joy, energy and community.

T’aint what’cha do. It’s the way that’cha do it.

This video always makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside. Thank God for Frankie Manning.
