The shimmy is said to have been introduced to American audiences by Gilda Gray in New York around 1919. The word was widely used before and the shimmy was already a well-known dance move. Gilda appropriated it as her own, saying that she had accidentally invented the shimmy while dancing at her father-in-law's saloon and "shaking her chemise" (or her "shimee", as her Polish accent rendered it). | American Lindy Hop Championships
