 | | Carolina Shag is a spot dance, with the man doing most of the fancy moves and the woman either mirroring what he is doing or marking time. | | | Also like the Balboa, the Shag is done to very fast music: 165 beats per minute and faster. | | | But some Shag dancers have branched out into music from the 1960's to the present. |

| | Shag was one of those rare cultural events that picked its own music after the fact. | | | However, there were no bands dedicated to shag music during the movement's zenith in the mid-60s. | | | Depending on who you talk to, shagging can be done to songs as diverse as Elvis' "Return To Sender" and Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing," but the general consensus is that there should be a slow shuffle at the bottom and some sort of southern soul on top. |

| | Some claim the Carolina shag as pre-existing the Lindy Hop, due to some music title's having the Shag in its name or description, how-ever they are confusing the earlier "Collegiate Shag" with the later Carolina version. | | | The best style would depend on what type of music you are dancing to at the time, Geographics, the theme of the dance being held, geographics, the speed in which the music is played and the dance knowledge of you and or your partner. | | | Carolina Shag became known as "Beach Swing" and was done to "Beach Music," which was basically old Motown, Blues and Oldies music today. |

| | Carolina Shag - definition of Carolina Shag in Encyclopedia |
| | Traditionally, shag is danced to RandB music, particularly the subgenre known as "beach music" (initially done by bands such as the Drifters and the Coasters). | | | Since the mid-1990s Shag has undergone a good deal of crossover with West Coast Swing and even some with Lindy Hop, with music and dance influences going in both directions. | | | Some distinctive elements of shag include: fancy footwork (rolls, shuffles, kicks, etc.); a tradition of steps being called by the follower and then led as requested; and a greater emphasis on showing off the leader, rather than the follower as in most other swing dance forms. |

| | Carolina Shag - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | It is most often associated with beach music, which refers to songs that are rhythm and blues based and, according to Bo Bryan, a noted shag historian and resident of Beaufort County, is a term that was coined at Carolina Beach as well. | | | The Shag is a form of swing dancing that evolved from the jitterbug and jump blues of the big band jazz era and originated at Carolina Beach, North Carolina during the 1940s. | | | The man is the center of attention and the woman's steps are either mirror steps of the man's or a sort of marking time while he does spins and other wildness. |
