About this studio
ShimSham is a swing dance school in Warsaw run by a group of friends united by passion for dance. They've been teaching for 9 years and focus on joy and community as much as technique. Classes cover Lindy Hop, Charleston, Solo Authentic Jazz, and Balboa, all taught from the fundamentals up.
Lindy Hop is their flagship style — an energetic, improvised African-American partner dance that emerged in Harlem in the 1920s–30s and is now danced worldwide. Solo Authentic Jazz classes teach expressive solo improvisation based on 1930s Harlem foundations, letting you create your own movement to swing music.
They offer regular classes for beginners and experienced dancers, as well as weekend workshops for those wanting to try swing before committing to regular lessons, or to deepen existing skills. Beyond classes, the school organises thematic workshops, festivals and dance events.
The school emphasises high technical standards without sacrificing enjoyment. Reviewers praise the professionalism of instruction, the variety and volume of classes available, and the welcoming atmosphere for both newcomers and seasoned dancers.
