Do you ever notice how some songs invites a group of people out to the floor to perform a Solo Jazz choreographed line dance like the Shim Sham? Mama’s Stew (aka .The Stew and Hands Clappin’) is a beloved fast-paced and energetic routine from the 1960’s. It was originally choreographed by George Sullivan and was routinely practiced by Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers as a warm up. This routine is often called the Mama’s Stew routine as Mama Lu & The Parkets very famously performed it together.

If you have been dancing in Calgary a while, you have possibly seen this routine done at social dances. Now is your chance to learn it. Taylor Marcus will be breaking down and teaching the routine. This routine is great for brand new dancers or anyone looking to learn more Solo Jazz!
