Bring your dancing shoes and come learn the national anthem of tap dance – the Shim Sham — and other famous tap moves in this celebration of art and music. Whether you come to participate yourself or just to watch the crowd, you will be taken on a journey that includes vocals, beat boxing and the art form of improvisational tap.
