Introduction to St. Louis Shag

St. Louis Shag is a rhythmic, high energy swing-era dance that has been rapidly gaining devotees in the modern, global swing dance scene. Originating from the rebellious youth of St. Louis in the 1930’s, it is characterized by a bouncy pulse and quick triple steps. This class will introduce the fundamental technique and shapes of St. Louis Shag, as well as ways to incorporate these movements into other partner dances. Check out your instructors and other top STL Shag dancers at the Nevermore Jazz Ball 2017: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RxFTpb4-r4 Learn more about the history of St. Louis Shag here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis_shag

Pre-requisites: coming soon.
