Description
Collegiate Shag is a fun and playful dance where you can really get silly with your partner. 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, we will get you into shag quickly, including teaching you:
– The basic step (even easier than Lindy or Bal)
– How to take the figures you know from Lindy Hop and dance them in Shag
– Amazing & unique shag figures
– Musicality, breaks and advanced silliness
We will also focus on how to make your Shag chill and relaxed at faster tempos, so you can keep dancing all night long!
Level Guidance
A minimum of 8 months of Lindy Hop classes or similar in other swing dances.
Starting from August 5th, we will offer new weekly courses
in Lindy Hop, Balboa, Collegiate Shag, Solo Jazz and Tap.
Registration is now open!
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).
Come and practice material from your class during Open Practice. It’s free and open for everyone! Consider bringing a partner to dance with though.
We have collected some of our favorite swing songs, which are good for practicing, and we put them together in a Spotify playlist
