MULLUMBIMBY SWING DANCE CLASSES BACK ON THIS THURSDAY (21/10/21)…

Hey Kids We are allowed back!
We understand there are some challenges and there will be some settling into the new rules time, but Ray and I are willing to hit the road, come on down and offer the teachings and the joys of Lindy Hop with those that are able to attend classes.
Hoping that each week will see our numbers in the dance community grow again and by Christmas we should all be on the floor! We can only hope.
Looking forward to seeing you all there.
Tell your friends: $20pp at the door.
Just a side note from us:

We have had a lot of private messages, emails and calls etc (some kind and some not so kind) about the whole NSW double Vax rule and how that affects access to our dance classes. We just want to clear up a few things up, namely 3:

1. We are a small registered business bound by the laws/rules of the NSW Health Regulations and also QLd Health regulations and just like any other small business trying to stay afloat we do not want to risk or jeopardise what we do (Spreading the joy of dance to all) by breaking the rules and risking fines we could not afford to pay anyway!.

2. We are non judgemental and support everyones right to make their own decisions about whether they believe in or have the vax or not and, as we respect your right, we ask that you also respect our right to be pro Vax and respect those students who also have chosen to be vaccinated and return to class, it is also their right;

3. Lastly, We cannot under any circumstances hire a community venue or hall to run sideline classes for the unvaccinated – refer point 1.

WE, like YOU, wish this woud all go away and we can go back to enjoying the dance, the music, the community and not be constantly bombarded with this stuff which we can all agree, is tiresome, stressfull and downright a wet blanket to the Swing Dance Party we all want to go to.

Til then, be kind, be patient, respect evereyone, breathe and take time to make your own informed decisions about how to navigate the next few months and lets remember the joy of Lindy Hop.

As Frankie says.. A 1, A 2, you know what to do….

Whats the Shim Sham:
So what is the Shim Sham?
Originating from a style of dance termed the ‘Goodus’ in the late 1920s, the Shim Sham Shimmy was first performed on stage in Harlem in the early 1930s as a closing routine that would get all of the singers, dancers and performers on stage together with the audience joining in. It wasn’t until some lindy hoppers at the Savoy Ballroom did the Shim Sham as a group line dance (without the taps) that the dance style really took to fame.
In the mid-1980s, the Shim Sham was introduced at New York’s Swing Dance Society dances by Frankie Manning, who went on to create a special version of the Shim Sham dance just for swing dancers. It is the tap dance routine that we know and love today, involving a shuffled rhythm of the ‘Time Step’.
For more on the history of the Shim Sham check out: https://authenticjazzdance.wordpress.com/…/the-short…/
Whats The Stew?: The Stew is a vintage warm-up choreography used by Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers to warm up before practicing their routines. This routine is often called the Mama’s Stew routine as Mama Lu & The Parkets very famously performed it together.
