13 Feb Shag Dancing in Myrtle Beach
Believed to have been born right here on Main Street in North Myrtle Beach back in the 1920s, the Carolina Shag is the official state dance in South Carolina! For decades, the rich history and contagious dance moves have attracted visitors from all over the world to Myrtle Beach.
The dance itself is smooth and easy as the ocean breeze that blows off the sparkling blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. In fact, it looks as if the dancers are gliding across the dance floor. Performed to beach music, this is one dance where you won’t spill your drink. It’s simple to learn and all you need is a dance partner, classic beach music, and of course, a cold drink.
There are plenty of local spots to choose from if you’re in the mood to groove. Some of the top places to shag are still located right on Main Street in North Myrtle Beach. Although you’ll find plenty of free lessons and places to shag in North Myrtle, you can also find shaggers dancing along the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk in Murrells Inlet!
