Provence Swing Festival - Solo Jazz - Sharon Davis (2010)

My girlfriend, in an effort to prove that Tabby the Cat could be done effectively at a Charleston speed and was not just restricted to blues, had me search through YouTube for videos of Sharon Davis dancing as she has perfected it. So, we came across this wonderful solo jazz performance from last year’s Provence Swing Festival. 

A 5-minute solo jazz routine is a long, long routine. It’s amazing to see how deep Sharon’s repertoire is, especially as nearly every move she pulls off in this dance is unique (by way of variations, of course). By the end of the 5 minutes, we wanted 5 more so we scoured the tubes for more solo Sharon and Juan & Sharon performances. The Tabby the Cat move is one of the first ones she pulls off, at 0:07-0:08. 

Now to find a manly way to pull that off.
