    In this video, The Walkers, Nikki and Dave, show the basics of a dance called The Carolina Shag.
    Dave begins by saying that the first and most important thing to learn is the basic shag step. It is done in a six-count movement. Starting with his left foot, Dave then shows the six basic shag steps for the men. He notes to keep your steps short. Next, Nikki shows the six basic shag steps for the women. The steps are the same, only Nikki starts with her right foot. They recommend you face your partner and always count out loud when practicing. Dave says that the most difficult thing about the shag is this first step, so practice until you have it down pat before moving on.
    When you think you have the first step down, come together with your partner. The man uses his left hand to take the lady’s right hand. Dave uses a pistol grip, which has his index finger along the side of her hand, and his middle finger resting between her fingers down below. This is a male leading dance, so men need to make sure that their ladies can feel their lead. Finally, Dave mentions that your elbows should never be extended when dancing. The Walkers then put it all to music. See Part 3: • Dancing: Carolina Shag...

    I’d like to see a video taken from the perspective of me looking down at my feet or the camera semi behind me. I’m looking at this guy from the front so what I see to my left side is his right. He saying to start on the left foot but of course that’s to my right in the photograph. That’s confusing
