July 2017  After my performance  thenI did  the shim sham I did with my other partner Charlie  Meade who had a stroke last year and hasn’t been dancing and has a lot of pain walking. I call it a miracle he got out there.

Once again the Miracle of Dance!  Doing the Shim Sham with Charlie Meade at Midsummer Night Swing and he throws down his cane! Ha! We do the Break-a-leg move off at the end!
