The Beaufort Shag Club firmly believes in sharing with others our love of the South Carolina State Dance - THE CAROLINA SHAG!
We periodically have lessons to enhance the enjoyment of dancing and to share new steps with fellow members. All lessons taught by club instructors are free to members.
LESSONS RESUME IN SEPTEMBER
Our next class will be a Beginner class in September starting at 6:00 pm Wednesday 9/4/24. Advance sign up is required.
Contact Woody Oakley to register for the class. 843 812 1825 / wfoslo75@gmail.com.
Intermediate lessons will be offered each Wednesday in October at 6:00 pm.
It is important to note that new members are not required to take lessons. If you already dance the shag or some similar dance, you are welcome to join us on the dance floor. If you wish to take lessons, they are available.
These consist of four (4) lessons spanning consecutive weeks. These lessons will be held at AMVETS on Ribaut Rd. typically from 6:00 - 6:45 PM To attend these lessons you must be a member of the club and pre-register by contacting the instructor. Priority is given to those members who have not taken the beginner class before. The classes are limited to the first 12 couples (includes single signups). Keeping the class size manageable allows for more individual instructor assistance.
These also consist of four lessons spanning consecutive weeks and also require preregistration. Classes typically teach Basic and Turn variations, the Pivot, the Bellyroll, the Boogie Walk, etc. One should be reasonably proficient at the basic and the male and female turns prior to taking the Intermediate classes.
SC Code - 1&2,3&4,56
We periodically ask some of our members to share a new step or line dance with the rest of the club.
There is a small secondary dance floor at the back of the room for refresher assistance by other members or to just practice a new step.
