After the Shim Sham and the California routine, we're back with the Big Apple :)

As usual, we've recorded individual instructional videos for each move that you can access by clicking the corresponding annotation during the video.

We've taken good notes of the comments we got from the Shim Sham and we've filmed the routine from the back so that people can more easily follow the moves.

We hope you'll enjoy this new set of videos, feel free to rate them and comment on them on Youtube.

If only this kind of instruction was around back when I was reading step lists on how to dance the shim sham...great work, guys.

The physics is theoretical, but the fun is real!

Anybody who uses 'Lookin' Good But Feelin' Bad' by Henry 'Red' Allen as their segue way music and has not one, but two tables worth of booze used in their videos as a background studio prop gets my vote.

Kudos to both of you again!

you just got to listen to the music, 'cause it's talkin' to you man! -frankie http://www.zazzle.com/anarchyforpresident

This is actually Fats Waller's version.

The two tables worth of booze is a courtesy of the Studio 88-SWING in Montreal. Truly the best place in Montreal to learn Swing dancing ;)

I was so excited when you posted your instructional videos. Thank you so, so much.

Now I'm excited for whatever you have next. Any hints? (Tranky Doo or Dean Collins Shim Sham perhaps?)

You're very welcome.

Well, I think the Tranky Doo and Dean Collins Shim Sham would be fantastic. I really enjoy the way you break things down.

You're providing such a wonderful service to dancers everywhere. Thanks again.

Thank you Patrick & Natasha, this is awesome. I just published a post on my blog about your videos! It's in German, btw.

I agree, the Tranky Doo would be great for the next set :-)
