Collegiate Shag

Description

Collegiate Shag is a lively and energetic swing dance of African American origin, which originated in the 1920s and 1930s and is danced at a rather fast tempo. Shag is another word for dance – as the name suggests, Collegiate Shag was mainly danced by college students. Today, the dance is enjoying a resurgence in popularity on the international swing dance scene, and we want to help spread the word!

Registration & Costs

It is only possible for members of the Dresden Hepcats to register individually (1 person = 1 registration). We aim to achieve a balanced ratio of leads and follows in the workshop. Therefore, there is a quota for lead, follow, and switch places. Once the role limit has been reached, it is no longer possible to register for that role.

Please bring a change of shoes with light-colored soles or socks for dancing. Since shag can be quite fast-paced and athletic, please also remember to bring a change of clothes, a towel, and something to drink.
