Tap II Leonard Reed’s Shim Sham Notation
Key:
R = right fr = front
L = left ( ) = silent count
x = times [ ] = to show correlation of counts to
fwd = forward movement
bck = back/backward BC = ball change
Part 1, Shim Sham:
[8&1], 2&3, 4&5 [Stomp R fwd, spank step R bck] x3 RLR
&6&7 Step L, stomp R fwd, spank step R bck
8&1, 2&3, 4&5, &6&7 Repeat all above reversed L
8&1, 2&3, 4&5, &6&7 Repeat all above R
Shim Sham Break:
8, 1, 2, 3, &(4), & Stamp R, toe dig L cross bck of R, step heel L
cross bck of R, step heel R cross bck of L
5, 6, 7 step L cross bck of R, step R open to side,
step L end feet hip width apart
Part 2, Crossover/Push:
8 clap
[1, 2], 3, 4, [Stamp R to R, heel drop/step L] x2
5, &(6), & Step R, scuff L cross fr of R, heel drop R,
7, 8 Step L cross fr of R, step R open to side
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, &(6)&, 7, 8 Repeat all above reversed L
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, &(6)&, 7, 8 Repeat all above R
Crossover Break:
1, &(2), &, 3, 4 Step L, scuff R cross fr of L, heel drop L,
Step R cross fr of L, step L open to side
5, &(6), &, 7, &, 8 Step R, scuff L cross fr of R, heel drop R,
Step L cross fr of R, step R open to side, L
open to side
Part 3, Tack Annie:
[&1, 2], &3, 4, &5, 6, [Spank dig R into L, stamp R to R] x3 RLR
&7, &8 Spank step L, BC RL (feet hip width)
