💛 Collegiate Shag dancing with Sarah, our first ever dance:
When I was visiting California (mainly Los Angeles County and Orange County) most of September, 2022, I went to many different venues, places, and social dance events such as this one. As shy as I am, I was amazed by the high HIGH level of dancers of this state of US. I was able to dance with many of them for the first time, and of course meet old friends and acquaintances again.
During Sunday, September 18th, 2022; I had my first dance with an amazing dancer called Sarah Stembridge, that later we met again in Hot Rhythm Holiday 2023, we got paired up for the Advanced Collegiate Shag Mix & Match competition, and that was our 2nd dance ever.
You can also see most of the other dancers doing Balboa & Bal-Swing (or L.A. Swing) around us. Is a fun contrast to our dancing.

ABOUT THE DANCE:
Collegiate Shag is a partner dance that originated in the 1930's and has a history similar to other jazz and swing era dances, such as the Charleston, Lindy Hop, and Balboa. The dance is known for its hopping basic step and high energy footwork that separates it from other forms of swing and other dances that use the 'shag' name, such as Carolina Shag or St. Louis Shag.
How is it done?
Collegiate Shag is traditionally danced in closed position, similar to Waltz or Foxtrot, where the lead and follow face each other, the lead places his right hand on the follow's back, the follow places her left hand on the lead's right shoulder, and the remaining free hands grasp palm-to-palm and held at or above shoulder level.
The footwork consists of a step, hop (or just 'hop') and two alternating steps (or 'quick, quick'). The number of times the 'hop' is executed before the 'quick, quick' can vary between one, two, or three times. This is given the designation of single, double, or triple shag, respectively.
