Global Shim Sham and More...

This video is one of my personal favorites! It is videos taken around the world and spliced together to present the "Global Shim Sham" in tribute to Frankie Manning.

Here's a clip featuring one of my favorite instructors, Brenda Russell (Collins). I recently had the opportunity to take a series of classes from her and wasn't disappointed at all. This video features some great Balboa and Lindy hop.
