SHAG (BEGINNING) Fee: $30
Enroll now and learn the dance of the South-the
Carolina Shag. Since it's beginning, in the late '30s and early '40s
at the beaches in North and South Carolina, the shag has spread
throughout the country. Shag dancers have appeared on television on
such shows as So You Think You Can Dance and Dance Fever. There is
even a movie about it. Shag dance clubs are springing up all across
the nation and there are now Shag clubs in all 50 states. College
students are forming shag clubs on campus. Children as young as
eight, teenagers, middle-age adults, and seniors are all getting
into Shaggin'. The dance is similar to hand dancing, touch dancing,
or swing dancing. The steps are smooth and rhythmic allowing
individual dancers to work in partnership with one another. This
course will include shag steps including the Basic step, the Female
Turn, the Male Turn, the Start, the Pull Through, the Side Pass, the
Chase, and the Saddle Up. The class will begin with the basic shag
step, then progress on to the other steps which will make you feel
confident and at ease on the dance floor. You don't need a
partner. Find out why the Shag IS the premier dance
of North Carolina and has been designated the state dance of South
Carolina. So, stop watching everyone else have fun…Let's Shag.
