We have produced a series of FREE shag dance videos that you can find on the Shag Lessons Page! These videos demonstrate our style of shag dancing. Interested people can see, compare, and learn! You can click on them and see a short movie reviewing the most common shag steps ..basic, lead techniques, basic pivot, etc. These videos emphasize social shag dancing skills and therefore there are few, if any, mirror steps that you find in competition style dancing! We try to cover only one thing at a time and each video lasts just several minutes for easy downloading to your computer.They are NOT intended to substitute for dance lessons or classes, but are great for review and practice.

We do not profess to be "experts" by any means in shag dancing. But we do want to share what we have learned in the 20+ years we have been dancing and teaching. We consider this our way of thanking all those who have supported us over the years!

Shag Dance Tutorial....

Is shag a male lead dance ?

              Yes, Shag is a male lead dance! Girls, you have to follow. This makes the dance hard for the girls because they have to take their cue on what to do from the male's lead. Proper male lead is critical in order to allow the female a chance to dance her fancy footwork! Therefore, dancing with a good leader is very desirable for the girls . Men who do not know how to properly lead typically try to compensate by using strength and pushing and pulling their female partner around as she dances. This makes the dance look awkward and prevents the female from keeping her balance and performing her fancy footwork. (Girls, How many times has your dance partner cranked you around in a female turn causing you to abort your foot work or loose your balance?..This is an example of what we are talking about!) A better way is to learn the hand signals and lead techniques that we teach. Example: learn to give your signals during the # five or six beat so the female has time to react...
Maybe it's time to take a class?

On New Year's Eve we were at both Ducks and
H. Lee & Pam’s 10th Annual New Year's Ball (the OD Cafe).

It's hard to say which party was the best..if you ask me, both were fun. Judge for yourself, take a look at the dance videos of these two fine parties!

To top it all off, Duck's had the fantastic "Booger Brothers" all week long and for my money you can't beat their selection of dance music. Fat Harold's was jammed all week too with bands nearly every night and DJ's on New Year's Eve. Sorry we did not get to shoot at Harold's this year...just too many parties and too little time...

The 8th Booger Family Reunion
Photos and Videos are here!

On July 25 and 26 the 8th annual Booger Family Reunion was held at Ducks in N Myrtle Beach. This is probably the best shag dancing event at the beach and it is held in July at Ducks.
What is the Booger Family?
It a gathering of people who love to shag dance and you become family member if you enjoy the smooth varied style of the Booger Brothers and you simply show up at the Reunion! This event is FREE and held every year at Ducks in July.

We have a great time dancing and dressing up and it's party... party... Party Time! This year's theme was do-rags and madras colors and as usual the Booger Brother's famous collection of funny hats and wigs..... warning some of these are PG13 rated! Ducks provided a Free Pour and Heavy Hors d'oeuvres on Saturday night and we had a big time.

Check out this years Friday and Saturday photo and video albums.. if you attended the party you may be in them.

This year's reunion was our 8th and we believe it was the most fun of all ..Everyone had a great time and the videos and photos bear this out...

Plan to attend next years 9th Annual Booger Reunion.. Watch here for details or add yourself to our shag dancer's email list and we will send you a notice as plans are finalized.

Randy and Sue's articles of interest...Read On!

 For some reason men have trouble getting excited about dancing so you girls need to encourage them. Sometimes a man is shy about taking lessons and learning to dance and lead well..or feels that its "not that important" ..whatever the excuse is, it fades when he learns about the benefits. If he thinks there are no benefits ...Girls, explain it to him!!

 

Sue and I are making our own series of free on-line shag videos for RandyandSue.com..... We want your comments ..specifically is this worthwhile?.... and if you think it will encourage others to learn the shag and attend dance classes ... What would you like us to teach in our videos?...
