I just love how smoothly they dance. Until the other day, I never heard of shag dancing, but I discovered it on a video. I grew up on rock and roll and soul music, but I am sorry I missed out on shag dancing. I certainly am enjoying watching the different dancers.
I went to college in South Carolina and shag dancing (from what I was told) was very popular down South especially around beach towns. I was from Queens NY back then and had never heard of shag dancing or the music. Believe me, it was true culture shock when a 17 yr old kid from Queens went to school in a small city in South Carolina back in the late 70s. A real eye opener!
That's funny you say that because I have a friend from the beach that's in his 50s and his father travels up and and down the coast going to shag dance competitions and they're what's in a beach area
This was uploaded in 2008..... Man Oh Man.... What a dance.... This is dancing right here..... Can you get your feet to move like this.....Wonderful Talent here.......I could watch this all day.....
Watching this was such a pleasure. Smooth, perfectly smooth. You 2 were great! PS Watching this again a year later this couple is smooth as butter. Not to take anything away from her but his steps simply ooooze out of every pore. He is definitely in his element on the dance floor. He doesn't look like he's thinking, rather just "doin' his thang," what comes naturally. What a joy it is to watch them.
I have been looking at these different shag dancers. My sis and her hubby live in Greensboro N.C. and compete in these contests. I really like this pair, I guess the beast.
I dreamt about my favorite couple night before last. This video is wonderful and I wanted to wish you a HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. My birthday, also, 71st that is. I am proud to know you and have had some fantastic dances with you. There is no other couple in the whole world who could have been more blessed. I LOVE YOU BOTH. ANN ADKINS/patio
THEY ARE VERY GOOD AND KEEP PERFECT TIMING TOGEATHER VERY ENJOYABLE TO WATCH, I LOVE TO DANCE BUT NEVER HAVE HAD ANYONE TO TEACH ME THESE DANCE STEPS WOULD HAVE LEARNED HOW WHEN I WAS YOUNGER BEFORE MY LUNGS WERE TAKEN OVER WITH COPD, YOUNG PEOPLE IF YOU SMOKE PLEASE QUIT. I THOUGHT WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I WAS INDESTRUCTIBLE AND I COULD GO ON SMOKING AND MY LUNGS WOULDNT GET EFFECTED I GUESS I THOUGHT I WAS SPECIAL OR SOMETHING STUPID WELL IM NOT, NOW I PRETTY MUCH LIVE MY LIFE IN MY RECLINER CHAIR CANT EVEN LAY DOWN FLAT IN MY BED BECAUSE IF I DO I CANT BREATH, CAN NO LONGER DO THINGS I USED TO LIKE HORSEBACK RIDING WITH MY FAMILY OR PLAY WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN IM OLDER BUT IM ONLY 61 YRS MY GRANDMOTHER WHO DIDNT SMOKE STILL RODE HER HORSE UP UNTILL SHE WAS 83 YRS OLD.
Noena, lol, it is a marvelous dance. It originated on the beaches of South Carolina during WWII. Initially, it was called beach dancing, later South Carolina Shag, then the Carolina Shag, now just Shag dancing for the most part. Old guys like me, however, still call it the Carolina Shag. And you watched Charlie Womble and Jackie McGee. A husband and wife team that have won several national competitions doing this dance. The UK is surrounded by water. Certainly you and some friends can find a beach and practice up on the Carolina Shag.
Hey my guy, I asked my dance school if it would be possible to teach a class on this when the quarantine is over so maybe it could be worth asking any local dance schools of yours if they could perhaps do a private lesson or anything to learn it!
Reminds me of my brother. He passed a year ago but could he ever cut a rug. High school girls would stand in line to dance with him. I was just a year older but could never dance lie he did. He would love this video.
Love you guys! We (Harriett & Don) met you at the Perimeter Marriott several times in the early 2000's. We were WCS & Hustle Dancers, but we always loved watching THE BEST IN SHAG! GOD bless and keep you dancin'. lol!
Just stopped by again and yet again to get my fill of this beautiful dancing couple. ;) Simply AWESOME love the way they both move. ..ummwell itisonlyme...Don't feel sorry sweetheart just remember watching can be quite fun sometimes. Practise a bit now and then in front of the mirror where you don't need an audience and maybe even the pain will lessen and lossen up a bit. . I used to dance quite well ONCE but now just love shaking my butt a wee bit here and a wee bit there. ..just too lazy but yep I walk a lot. Love music actually and can't resist my daily dose. with enough excercise for one day I guess. ;)) Great video, great couple great dancing. Love you guys and thanks for the video pal.
Just had Shag as a clue on my crossword for Lively Old Dance and when looking up the dance to see what it was like I found this video! And what would you know? I'm from Atlanta, Georgia too! They are good together
Doesn’t matter what style of dance you follow, the cream of the crop will always rise to the top. This was just a joy to watch. Smooth as, and their footwork. oh my.........
Incredible and beautiful magic of a great dancer. He practically bounces off the floor with his nimble footwork. Love it! ..you're right could watch it ALL DAY LONG and some more too ;)) I don't think he's the kind to play down his wife's dancing, it's just that he's better by far and at times even contrlls his moves to allow her the applause.
These two are so much fun to watch! They are exceptional dancers! And they are having so much fun!
I grew up with this dance in the 60's.
I was there also...
Same...
