Collegiate Shag course 17.04. - 22.05.17

The Collegiate Shag ... originated in the South (Carolina but possibly New Orleans) and has been known at times as the "Flea Hop" (not just the Dance variation flea-hop.) The Shag was popular in the late 1920's and supposedly predates the Lindy Hop with the collage students. It was primarily danced to fast Ragtime - Jazz type music.

Nowadays it is danced to all kinds of faster Swing music, Boogie Woogie as well to Rockabilly.
