The Tranky Doo is a choreography developed during the late 1930's. Like the Shim Sham and the Big Apple, the Tranky Doo incorporates many solo jazz movements that were common during the Swing Era. The video below shows a few dancers performing their personalized versions of the choreography. Newcomers are welcome for the class, but the pace will be geared for fast learners and dancers with some dance experience. The series will teach basic patterns along with the choreography and then go over styling variations to introduce options for your own Tranky Doo flair.
