The Carolina Shag Steps
The Basic: Smooth & simple, it's eight steps in six counts (One-And-Two, Three-And-Four, Five-Six). Focus on alternating feet and proper foot placement for balanced, rhythmic flow.
Pro Tip: Imagine a swinging pendulum for your body movement - no bouncing, just smooth transitions.
Bonus: Practice at home! Grab a door knob for support and refine your moves with ease.
The Shag's Story
Born on the Carolina coast, this quick, upbeat dance originated with African American communities and soared in popularity during the "beach music" era. Shag, or the "swing dance of the South," offers a unique flavor unlike any other - it's a warm night, a cool drink, and endless possibilities on the dance floor.
