Description

A slowed-down, smoothed out jitterbug, Carolina Shag is a swing dance done to rhythm and blues "beach music."  Originating in North and South Carolina in the 1930s, this dance looks simple but offers complex combinations of six- and eight-count rhythms with rolling steps and stretching connections. Here's what it looks like when the pros do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90CAxcl0CGY

This workshop is appropriate for swing novices as well as experienced Lindy Hoppers and West Coast Swing dancers.  Carolina Shag is great for smoothing out your dance, practicing fancy footwork, and working on connection.  No partner or prior experience with Shag/Swing/Lindy is necessary.  Registration details are available on our website, or you can email with questions.
