Shag dancing has very southern American roots. It was most popular in the 60’s- I think R&B was a perfect match, thus the widespread popularity. It is still a dance in the south. Don’t you just love it?

Loved it! It reminded me of the Lindy, we used to dance it in the 50’s. It was a fancier version but many of the moves and steps were the same. Great video. :o)

Maybe we should ask the Bash organizers to hire a jive band for evening festivities. Wouldn’t that be a hoot?!! 🙂 ♥
