Shim Sham (Dance)The shim sham or sham originally is a particular tap dance routine. It is credited to Leonard Reed, who originally called Goofus, or to Willie Bryant. For swing dancers, today it is kind of line dance that recalls the roots of swing. In the late 1920s and the 1930s, at the end of many performances, all of the musicians, singers, and dancers would get together on stage and do one last routine: the shim sham. Everyone would do it to their best. The tap dancers would do very fancy variations. The singers and musicians would shuffle along as they were able. External links
