Collegiate Shag Jam 2007

[dbjones00]

Being part of the neo swing crowd, I've been swing dancing for a few years and really love to Charleston. I just recently learned this collegiate shag in my local scene in Louisville, Ky and can recognize the step patterns (step-kick step-kick trip-le) but my god their feet are moving faster than I've ever seen lol

I looooove it!!! I love the whole 1900-1950s era!! I want to learn to do the shag and charelston so bad!!!

Years ago, during the huge swing craze of the turn of the century, I took a day-long workshop on this and it was a blast! It was also a very energetic and exhausting workout, too! If you get the chance to learn this, do it! So few people know it that it is a great way to be noticed on the dance floor.

It is great to watch this video. It shows me the kind of dancing my mom used to do and talk about during her lifetime. She was one of the original Arthur Murray Shag dancers and she and her partner can be seen on the Big Apple promotional poster. Love this dancing!

Fabulous dancing, fabulous music, fabulous costumes. It doesn't get any better than this. Wish I could download the clip so I could see it better on my HDTV.
