of the "Shag" ( Dance ) and SOS
( "Shagging On the Strand", or to some "Society Of Stranders" )
The Life
The Home of Carolina Beach music, good times and cool
dancing in the 1960's style ( A time when we all respected one another and it was cool
just to be nice ). In South Carolina it's Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Ocean Drive
and Cherry Grove. In North Carolina it's Calabash, Carolina Beach, Wrightsville Beach and
Atlantic Beach. If you want to go all the way and really get into the tradition, visit
Ocean Drive, SOS headquarters and home of "Fat Harold's" the best little Shag
bar in the world. This is where everyone goes to drink, Shag and meet great people
The Dance
" The Shag " is basically a lazy Jitter Bug or
Bop (6 count). There are lots of cool turns, spins, kicks etc. You have to be there to
appreciate it........just remember, The Shag originated on the beach, in the sand... so
don't kick sand on yourself or on the beautiful people around you .... OK?
The Music
" Shag music " The old upbeat R
& B along with some modern stuff thrown in for the youngsters (Under 40). I have
