Why attend:
Our fantastic teacher, Suzanne Grubham, will teach The Tranky Doo, one of the main jazz routines that's danced around the world in the Lindy Hop scene. The Tranky Doo is said to originate in the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem, like the Shim Sham. It’s another line dance that popped up somewhere in the 1940s. The popular version of the dance which was filmed at the Savoy ballroom in the 1950’s can be seen being performed by Al Minns, Leon James & Pepsi Bethel in the dance documentary the Spirit Moves. Frankie Manning also did a popular variation of the dance!
