I somehow love this. We don't control what our brains find interesting, but for some reason the concept of people getting really good at a single era's dances is interesting. Cool way to spend your life. Thank you for this.
Dancing has always been a way for people to show the reality we inhabit that we are grateful for being able to have plenty and share the experience with others
Great video. I read someplace that Charlie Chaplin discovered Jackie Coogan when the kid was dancing the Shimmy onstage at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, 1920.
“…to jig and hop around like a chicken on a red-hot stove, at the same time shaking the body until it quivers like a disturbed glass of jello, is not only tremendously suggestive, but it is an offense against common decency that would not be permitted in a semi-respectable road-house.” - The New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts newspaper, May 2021
I hate to be that guy but if we are going for historical accuracy then a top hat should never be worn while dancing and your Marcella vest must never be below the front of the tailcoat. Plus this wasn’t really the shimmy.
The proper way for a woman to do the shimmy is to move her shoulders in such a way that no one is looking at her shoulders. The proper way for a man to do the shimmy is to watch.

It have been 3 months ago what are you learning right now?
It's actually older than that.
Well you didn't have a clue did you?

Wow the two of you are fabulous! You both look the part and those dance moves...chef's kiss.
The two of them are golden 🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️
Love my shimmies. Had never seen it done like this before. How fun!
video helped me with a dance for my high school black history day program
YES! More please!
this is the best dance EVER
Ooh, Luv it. Do more videos, of the Old Classic Popular Dances💃🕺👯
This is... AWSOME! :-) Excellent demo. Thank you!!!!
Bring the shimmy back !!!😂
Loved your dancing ❤
I love this so much!
You didn't actually give any instructions on how to do it. It is a move requiring 'isolations' which are tricky for beginners.
shaking your shoulders is tricky? Maybe for somebody with a broken shoulder😐
@@tiffanyfoy1039 coordination isn’t something everyone has a lot of lol

You haven't got a clue. I bet you can't dance for toffee.

In Atlantic City the shimmy was band,but Ethel Waters could do hers
I've seen Chris Brown do a version of this dance move in his music video, She Ain't You.
This isn't historically accurate, they did partner shimmie and it wasn't "Chunky." They also did solo shimmie.
trae young like this video
***TINA TURNER*** brought me here.
the shimmy was popularized in 1916 by Gilda Gray, whom would claim she invented the dance .. she didn't.
am i the only one here bc of system of a down?
Close to charleston..
