Hi CC and welcome! I remember my brother doing a dance called the Shag back in the early 1960s. Is that what you're talking about or is this a new dance??

Hi, Storm & Oracle ~~ thank you both for the sweet welcome :D I look forward to talking with all of you!
Storm, if your brother was Shaggin' in the 60's, he may well have been doin' the Shag I mentioned ... usually it's danced to old beach music - stuff like the Drifters, etc. Gee, I'm dating myself <lol>

Shag is a dance (kinda a shuffling of the feet), which got its roots in the Carolinas. I believe it started out in the coastal regions and eventually made its way inland at which time it became really popular. They even made a movie about it, but I can't recall the name. There ya go ... Shag Lessons 101!

Hey CC!! Welcome aboard the Northwestern!! Nice to have a fellow "orange-squeezer" on the board!! Love your avi by the way!!
BTW - we Shag here on the Gulfcoast also - they had a dance this past weekend actually!! They teach Shag at the ballroom dancerooms here!! LOL!
If there is a beach or boardwalk, beach music - there's always the SHAG!

Well ya'll, Mama clearly knows her stuff concerning the Shag (thanks for teachin' em, Mama!). You did a fabulous job and I'm uploading a bottle of Carolina Blonde to ya! This is such a kick group of people -- I'm so glad I found this place!
Think I'm gonna sip one of my dry vodka martinis whilst Mama sobers up a bit (but am gonna offer her one when she's ready for it). THEN we can show y'all how to SHAG!
