Do you want to comfortably dance to very fast swing songs? Then this fast-track course into the world of Collegiate Shag will be perfect for you! This course is both for complete shag beginners and for people who have danced shag for a while and want to learn cool new moves and techniques.
Collegiate Shag is a fun and playful dance that you can dance to fast music. And if you already dance Lindy Hop or Balboa then you can learn shag very quickly and use many of the figures and techniques you already know.
In this course you we will get you into shag quickly, including:
-The shag basic step (it’s even easier than Lindy or Bal)
-How to take all the figures you know from lindy hop and put them in shag
-Even more amazing shag figures
-Musicality, breaks and creativity/playfulness
We will also focus on how to make your shag chill and relaxed at fast tempos so you can keep dancing for longer.

Summer workshops in July
We are currently working on a schedule for summer workshop in July. Stay tuned!
Collegiate Shag is a partner dance that originated in the 1930’s and has a history similar to other jazz and swing era dances. The dance is known for its hopping basic step and high energy footwork to up-tempo swing and pre-swing jazz music.
It’s a fun and exciting dance that will have you dance faster than you ever imagined possibly in no time.
Flat shoes will be the best choice, preferably with a bit slidey sole and with a padded/cushioned insole, for better comfort. For beginners, regular sneakers would often be enough (just check if you can slide and turn in them without getting stuck or making a squeak sound on the floor).
Social dance & hang out with your dance friends during Midweek Social every Wednesday from 20.15-22.30. It’s free and open for everyone!
We have collected some of our favorite swing songs, which are good for practicing, and we put them together in a Spotify playlist
