WKU Events

Are you ready to show your WKU pride and support of the Performing Arts? Amanda Clark, WKU Dance Coordinator, will be leading a Shim-Sham Shimmy Flash-Mob throughout campus. We need your help and support! A crew will be filming throughout campus, getting amazing shots, for a video to post on social media for National Tap Day onMay 25th!

The attached links will provide tutorials to help you tap like the dance majors on campus or quickly learn a basic non-tap dance version! Join in on the fun and help demonstrate how Hilltoppers unite! Meet other programs and departments, show your WKU pride, join our surprise guests, and help support Dance on the Hill!

When: Sunday, April 30^th at 5:30 pm (filming will last no more than an hour, IF THAT!)

Where:We will meet in the FAC Colonnade

Shim-Sham Shimmy?!

This dance is the anthem of tap dance and dates back to the early 20th century when tap dance as we know it was developing!
