Shag is the swing dance with southern charm. Born in the 1950’s in the Carolinas, Shag was the answer to the Beach Music growing out of the region and remains the state dance of both North and South Carolina to this day. Now Shag is being danced all over North America by people of all ages and to music ranging from 1950’s and ‘60’s R & B and Soul to contemporary Top 40. Dancers love Shag for its flow and smooth movement as well as its intricate and playful footwork and the space, even within the basics, for them to improvise as an individual in a partner dance, even though the Shag is a strongly lead dance. Dancers of other genres, especially Swing dances, will be familiar with some of the technique, while a beginner dancer will find that this is a perfect dance to introduce a love of and success in their other partner dance lessons.
These ballroom dance lessons are for anyone who is familiar with their basic bronze figures in the International style and wish to challenge what they already know.
