Shag

Whether you're talking about Collegiate Shag, Carolina Shag or
St. Louis Shag - We can teach you SHAG! We know some styles
better than others and of course we have our favorite.

Collegiate Shag originated in New Orleans and has been known at times as the "Flea Hop". The Shag was popular in the early 1920's and It was primarily danced to fast Ragtime - Jazz type music.
It's a light dance which can quickly travel across the dance floor.

If you've ever seen cartoons which show dancers pressing their
faces and torsos together while their feet move madly underneath them... that's Collegiate Shag. This is a great dance for fast music and is often used to provide a rest period during long songs.
