South Carolina State Dance - The Shag
I remember learning to shag at home in the late 1950's. We danced with our mother, our sisters, and with the doorknob! No kidding! We danced before school and after school. We had parties in each other's homes. We danced in carports, garages and boy scout huts. Wonderful high school memories!
