Perform the Big Apple on Frankie's birthday, May 26th!
Last year, the Swing world got together and celebrated Frankie Manning's Birthday, teaching and performing the Shim Sham. This year, we are encouraging instructors to teach and perform the Big Apple (video clip below), choreographed by Frankie in 1939, with their community on Frankie's big day, May 26th...his 98th birthday!
As the Big Apple takes a bit more time to learn, we are sending this event out early so you can prepare Big Apple classes for the month of April and May.
