I've had this video saved for a long time, and I come back to it every now and again; I used to love going to shag contests when I lived in South Carolina, and this video brings back some very happy memories. Thank you, Matthew and Kristin!
This is Matthew. I read through all the comments, noticed the same few questions repeating. I used to dance several years ago. I have since left the beach and am currently serving in the military. I havent taken or given a lesson in years. my sister still goes out from time to time, and you may see my family around from time to time at Fat Harolds, or the Spanish Galleon. The song is Mama Dont Like by smiley lewis, and if you can find it anywhere but a Beach DJ, i'll be impressed. Enjoy. Thanks
Again... Matthew and Kristen are the best shaggers on the PLANET! This is Tom Bozeman from the Beach and know the real deal. His foot work and rhythm is sho-nuff popp'n! How 'bout it yall? Let's go to "Woody"s in the Vista and show off with this mess!
Matthew and Kristen are absolutely EXCELLENT shaggers. I'm from Myrtle Beach and been dancing for countless years, and would like to LOCATE Matthew for lessons. Anybody know where he and Kristen live? I'm in Columbia, SC. *P.S. Where do you guys hang out & dance?
I think these guys are SO much better than the perfectly choreographed crap I see all over You Tube now. This is MUCH closer to what was seen at the North and South Carolina beaches in the shagging hey days.
I googled the song and had to buy a used Smiley Lewis cd to get it. The song is also slowed down quite a bit. Much faster on the cd. Other option is to find a beach music dj and ask him for the song.
I have a question my sister is a shag dance instructor but i do hip hop dance but im 15 do u think its too late to start it seems fun maybe even do some competitions? Let me know please.
hey man its never to late to start. Im 28 started when i was around 23 or so. Its fun as hell and you meet lots of nice people and I woud not be suprised if you could incorporate some of your hip hop into your dancing. Ive seen one guy use a c walk type foot work in his dance before. and you can definilyt put a moon walk in ( i dont know if you put that in as hip hop though :))
Just amazing footwork especially on his part. Just smooth and he makes it look so effortless. AWESOME!!
But once again...what is up with all these ANNOYING screamers in these videos. Some of the best shagging and swinging videos have this ONE FREAK"N annoying screaming. I don't know who the girl is that you hear in the background, but if you see this, just know how much better the video would be if you were not screaming. JUST SHUT IT!!! LOL
Haha, thanks for all the great responses. Thats me and my sister in 2005 i think. We ended up winning our division. we were both juniors, i'm 20 now, and she's 18. Its not a routine, and theirs no young love symbolism, haha. Were just having a good time. If you enjoyed it, you should check out Autumn and Brennar, the couple that beat us the year before or after, i'm not sure which. Thanks for all the great comments.
I started shagging two years ago and some friends just put me onto this video. Your footwork is awesome! I shag at Dockers in Greenville, SC, and I widh I could break your footwork down so I could study it. This is the kind of dance I aspire to.
Been watching shaggers over fifty and this is best I've seen. Young or old. I've always said the Shag is a young man's dance. This causes me to ponder what those old "professionals" have turned our dance into.
I post this video now and then on my facebook and twitter :)
