[sopraffina]

This video makes me want to learn how to shag!

[anis1315]

I had to do the shag at school and it was fun. I was pretty good, but not as good as these dancers!

[Feverwitch]

I love this dance style but do you folks realise what the word "shag" means in the UK? Have a big fat guess then read these video titles with that in mind! Yes I know I'm like a 10yo but please come to London and tell the first man you meet what a great shagger you are!!!!

[SixFigureMom]

@Feverwitch LOL

[Rindiangrits]

@Feverwitch I just found out now when I google it. Darn it! Is it true that in UK, the word to root means doing something sexually?

[leedsmanc]

@Rindiangrits no that's Australia

[Rindiangrits]

@leedsmanc Well somebody's been lying!

[Husong48]

Do they have any bones in their legs? lol noodle leg dancing!

[sckirbyc1]

In case anyone was wondering the song is Al Green - Give it everything, and can be found right here on youtube.

[applelogic1025]

[InspireImages]

I heard shag dancing was for beach originally

[Godsgiftmykids]

This is the first time I have seen this as well. These cats r good!

[Sentic16]

Woah, i heard about this dance through a song i dance modern jive to, the moves are almost the same but more fancy footwork, the song is called 'shagging the night away'

i gotta admit this was a pleasure to watch. :)

[outdoorsman0331]

hey the song is give it everything by al green

[scbeachguy57]

killer steps--- smooth and a joy to watch

[budman2727]

i think i am the only girl on the carolina coast who doesnt know how to shag,but after watching this i want to learn, they are great!

[christiecanaday86]

no you're not the only one lol i can't do it either but i am trying to learn! lol i'm taking lessons now but i love watching these videos of good shaggers

[carann5]

Great dancing and entertaining to watch. Maybe I can learn some steps if I watch enough. Gosh I wish I could watch in slow motion. Thanks to Frank (outdoorsman0331)for sending this to me and thanks to agask2!

[j01eck]

c walk crippin haha

[gomochachi]

I've seen this video at least 10 times. I was raised in SC, and I was one of the rare few who really didn't care that much for shag dancing. However, this video shows how it's supposed to be done. I never get sick of this clip. Excelente!

[milibean]

Wow these guys are truly amazing, what perfect footwork and the top halves of their bodies look like they're barely moving LOL! Fabulous!

[lmcfad17]

OMG..im from SC and i've always wanted to learn how to shag...I LOVE IT!

[songsilove2425]

love it, who sings the song

[cornyelius]

Al Green sings the song. "Give it everything", but it has been sped up by the DJ. The original is a little slower. They speed it up to get the beat to around 110-120 beats per minute,perfect to shag to.

[dnlslp]

who are the dancers??????

What is the name of the song?

Where are they - do they teach privates?

[therumpypumpy]

jen and joey sogliuzzo. they live in wilson nc and do teach privates, or at least they did a couple of years ago. a nicer couple you won't find.

[twoauers]

They are still around. I found them in the Competitive Shaggers association, they are currently 3rd place for 2008 in the Professional Shag association overall ratings, and I hope will be back in the 2009 They are absolutely the top of the Class. Sandra and I watched them dance. They gained two fans in Nashville!

Jon and Sandra Auer

[jc4duke]

this a lot less about you dancing with the partner, and you're feet dancing with their feet. the feet are making love together. (i hope no one that reads this has a foot fetish)

[ClaysSTO]

this is all you used to see at the Carolina Beaches! love it!

[lovedog49507]

wow i love this

[redsaxy]

because its not a wc. its a shag. hence the title. close though.

[rtistlady]

Best of the shaggers.. Some real fancy and cool footwork!!

[54spiritedwill54]

From an avid WCSwing dancer, this is sweet!

[needsumluv]

I like to do the shag with him

[fbopper]

Great dancers! Can anyone give me name of song, PLEASE?????

[myself338]

It's The BEST I've seen.GREAT foot work.

[RTCSNATLoVE]

question: i know that most people aren't as good as this couple, but is shag dancing really really difficult to learn? because i really want to know how to do it, never as good as these people of course, but at a normal level. would i be possible for me to learn?

[cornyelius]

This couple has obviously been dancing together for awhile,but the basic shag steps are really fun. My wife and I started lessons last Feb., and we already dance pretty good. This is great fun, with great music and you will meet some wonderful people, also!!! Sign up for lessons ASAP!

[teacher694]

They sure are fun to watch. And the girl is pretty cute. I love watching the shag dance ever since I saw the movie 'Shag'.

[faylow105]

Great dancing guys. Got to love it...smooth as butter! Wonderful to watch!

[ChelcAnne02]

Where is this at it looks like its in Rucker Johns but idk. By the way their A W E S O M E!!

[agask2]

ducks at north myrtle beach,sc

[twoauers]

@agask2 ; Keepers of the Dance Contest at Ducks. we were there that night and watched this, the viedo is good, but it does not do them justice. They were fabulous; so smooth. The best.

Sandra and Jon in Nashville

[aliat1vosari]

ha, if you live in South Carolina they make you learn that in gym in public school...

...but of course nobody looks as good as that!

[woodeehaa]

Wow! they are just gliding! amazing!

[okroper]

Awesome!

[cottagekeepsakes]

So much fun to watch .. bringing back the memories of home, Carolina/Kure Beach ..These two dancers are especially awesome .. thank you, so much, for posting the video

[wmelongest]

Okay these guys are good... I mean real good... Loved to watch it...

[rastagirl007]

NICE! what fun!

[tybeeshag]

The song came from "Don't Look Back". This was released in 1992 or 1992 and was Al's first R&B album since 1978.  It is difficult to find however Amazon has an import for $21.

B first R&B album si

[garcrews]

Thank you so much tybeeshag!! Ive been looking everywhere for this music!

[tybeeshag]

The song is "Give It Everything" by Al Green. The DJ is playing at Plus 7 or 8 as the original is slower. It is a great number to shag to.

[garcrews]

One of my favorites.. What is the name of this song and who preforms it? I love it! I can't find it under any of Al Green's stuff. Please help.

[TourCharlestonSC]

wow!

[ShagShoe]

That is Joey & Jennifer Sogluizzo. Great shaggers and "Keepers of the Dance". As I recall, they placed First Place in the Pro Division at that competition.

[tarheelted]

I have been living in California for the past 40+ years, but you never get the sand out of your shoes, or the Shag out of your heart. Great memories.

[daviedance]

They make it seem so effortless and smooth. I love it! It's like WCS but different.

[nickdangerfromwaycro]

Shaggin to Beach Music,nobody does it the same.A dance from our youth with basic footwork(if you bothered to learn how)and then have at it.Holding hands,getin that gal close to you,talking trash,romance is what its all about.Shaggin,some are great,some ok,aint nobody bad at it.Might want to go The Catalinas to watch average folk.There's a real cute gal at Hold Back The Night.Carolina Girls,the best in the world.

[Direness]

I have to say, I enjoy Carolina Shag visually so much better than WC. It looks like their actually WORKING the floor, not posing and doing hustle turns inbetween swing outs while trying to force sexuality into a dance that doesn't need it. And the music in these videos is just so much better than WC or MJ musical tastes. Go CS!

[fenix712]

Where was this contest held?

[tybeeshag]

This is at Duck's in Ocean Drive, S.C. (North Myrtle Beach). O.D. is the center of the universe for shaggers.

[fenix712]

I know. I was there for Fall SOS. I just didn't recognize the place.

Thanks.

[danceon7]

From an avid WCSwing dancer, this is sweet!!!

[drdoowop]

God I miss the Pad, Sonny's , the old Pawleys Pavilion and MY YOUTH

[cookieva]

The song is by Al Green

[AthenaXOXO]

Couple # 6, you are fantastic! Thanks for posting the video here.  Hope you put future dance videos here too.

[gilmore48]

Love the footwork. Much different than the St.Louis Shag I used to do.

[h20chic81]

Does anyone know the name of this song they are dancing to? Please Help!

[boshags1]

Al Green "Give It Everything"

[kttycat434]

[MonsieurRedMonkey]

Thanks! That's the first time I've ever seen Carolina Shag. It's not collegiate is it! ;)

[agask2]
