T.K. and Mary Robinette were nice enough to teach several of us from Beaufort the $45 step many years ago at a dance in Charlotte. If I recall correctly, the person who taught the step to T.K. had paid someone $45 to teach the step to him. So, T.K. named it the $45 step. He adds a boogie walk to the end of the step which makes it look even better. I did not add that part since I have learned that teaching the boogie walk is best done in very small groups.
This fellow is the best teacher ... so genuine and sincere ... thank you for taking the time to post ... :)
Hi. Thank you for all your great Carolina Shag videos. Why is this move called $45?
