Home > Collegiate Shag

The Collegiate Shag is a form of swing dancing, similar to the Balboa (another swing dance), but with different footwork (footwork: the dance term for steps). Danced with a Lead and follow, it is danced to upper tempo music (usually 200+ beats per minute) and the couple dancing is positioned very closely for a body lead connection.

Collegiate Shag began in New Orleans in the 1920's and it was performed by young ("college age") dancers to ragtime jazz. It pre-dates the Lindy Hop and Balboa. As it spread, new breeds of the dance were created such as Carolina Shag and St. Louis Shag .

The dance is still performed today by swing dance entheusiasts wordwide.
