Kappa Alpha Psi
The following paragraph removed as not confirmed:
 * Members of the historically African-American fraternity Kappa Alpha Psi often use a form of this dance to distinguish themselves in casual, social environments. The members form a single-file line and shimmy side-to-side in unison, often to the beat of background music.

The quoted reference speaks ast lengths about the "cane step", but not a single phrase about shimmy. `'mikka (t) 19:52, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Shimmy is also a mechanical vibration.

Here is a link for example:

Shimmy partner dance
According to my (Swedish) dictionary "Nationalencyklopedin", shimmy isn't just a dance move but a partner dance of American origin. It is supposed to have been introduced to Sweden in 1921, and was at least in my country often referred to as "shimmy-fox" and considered a version of foxtrot - please forgive us, we didn't master many African-American dances at the time! Anyway, I guess this shimmy partner dance also should have an article. Whether or not it contained any shimmy dance moves I can not tell, but of course the first guess would be it did. // habj (talk) 16:34, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
