- We will do a quick practice and then the first Shim Sham dance will start at 12:20pm.
- We will then walk to the Art Museum via the bridge over N. Lincoln Memorial Dr. and dance the Shim Sham again in front of the Calatrava.
- Our final Shim Sham will be in front of the LOVE sculpture, located behind the Art Museum.
- After all of the dancing, we will head to the War Memorial Beer Garden to grab a cold beverage and toast to Frankie Manning and celebrate our love for Lindy Hop!
