One day - one new dance!

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.
(text from www.streetswing.com)

Nowadays it is danced to all kinds of faster Swing music as well to Rock'n'Roll.


St. Louis Shag
This dance evolved from the Charleston in St. Louis, Missouri. St. Louis shag is a fun dance you can dance to faster music and mix with all the other swing dances.


Knowledge:
This is the class for you if you are curious about Collegiate Shag and have never danced before or if you have done some other swing dance classes.

Topics: basic moves and technic

Lead or Follow?

Although this dance is not gender specific and anyone can lead or follow you will find most dancers follow the same pattern in the old movies where the lead is the gentleman and the follow is the lady.  Choose your ticket accordingly but once again we don't mind what role you do. The day is a great way to meet some fun people as we rotate you around during the sessions.
