Collegiate Shag

Collegiate Shag is a dynamic student dance which was popular first in US in the 1920s-40s.
To get the spirit of Collegiate Shag you need to imagine yourself a 1930s dance marathon or intercollegiate contest participant anxious to take the prize, tearing your pants in order to attract the audience attention. You are a fellow in striped socks, saddle shoes, and college blazer doing badass hop and kick moves along with your partner to the up-tempo jazz music.
Along with the other swing dances Collegiate Shag has been revived. It continues to attract more and more people worldwide as it is a really blast and may turn even a very shy and modest individual into the brightest dancer on a floor!
