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!

Editorial
"Shagging With Your Family at the Beach This Summer"
RandyandSue
This Summer it is at The beach! Yes.. the weather is warm and the shag dancers of all ages are here having A Great Time! DON'T MISS YOUR CHANCE TO GET INVOLVED WITH SHAGGING AT N. MYRTLE BEACH!
FOR YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS (SCHOOL AGE KIDS and TEENS TOO)!
We have three ways for you to get your friends and
family started shag dancing:
- First when you are at the beach take advantage of our private lessons or on-site shag dance lessons at your house or condo....
- Bring your kids and teens to JrSOS in July. This will get them started dancing and teach them important social skills..plus they will have the time of their lives!
- Get your local schools, churches and clubs involved with shag dancing... volunteer and help them show their students the shag dance..(this is really easy to do since it is South Carolina's official state dance and most schools recognize this as an important part of our heritage)
MORE.....
We are involved with shag dancing for youngsters and teens. We are available to visit local schools and introduce the students to shag dancing as part of their dance or PE curriculum. This is done by RandyandSue on a volunteer basis.
We think this a great way to be involved in your local community and get young people interested in dancing..You do not have to be a Pro dancer to do this ..it is easy to do!
Why not give it a try?
We had the opportunity to visit several local area schools this past year to introduce the students to shag dancing...
Thanks to Daisy Elementary School and Loris Middle School for having us out to their Fine Arts Day in May. We put on a shag demonstration and a mini shag class for the 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades and the results were fabulous..take a look at some of the thank you notes from the 3rd and 5th grades and you will see that kids learn to shag easily and they love it! |

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?

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?...
Please
give us your feed back.. (Click)
Please
e-mail me your comments and suggestions for my web site ...I
am looking for ways to make RandyandSue.com more informative and
fun for people interested in learning about Shag dancing.
.We need to get more shag
dancers visiting our Shag web site!
Thanks for all the compliments and words of encouragement
about this site! If you find it helpful,
please tell others! Many people are missing
out because they either do not know about www.randyandsue.com
or don't have easy computer access. Please help spread the word!
This is a great way to keep up to date about shag events at NMB
or keep your shag dancing skills sharp (for example click the "help
girl" above and see the tutorials)
Thanks,
Randy
and Sue
