| | Shag, in my opinion, has a bad rap. | | | I think shag has a chance to come back, especially with bands like Mora's Modern Rhythmists. | | | every now and then there is a song or a certain part of a song that tells me to slip into Shag. |

| | Geographically, there are probably teachers who throw shag into their classes, and wa-la! In that geographic area...many of the dancers will know the dance and that dance is simply accepted anytime on the floor there (music permitting, of course). | | | Then I think the best solution is to talk to your partner, "hey, can you try that again, I do actually have a clue," or something to that effect. | | | They prolly just assume that because you are a pretty good dancer that you know these things. |

| | Unlike Collegiate Shag, Carolina Shag is not very compact (you need the clear slot) and is most comfortable to music that is slow to moderate rather than fast. | | | It can also be a done to very fast music. | | | There are various types of Shag, including Collegiate Shag (early 1930s) and Carolina Shag (late 1940s), which have developed their own way to such an extent that it is at first site strange that they shoudl share the same name. |
