Abstract:

Fred Fletcher, owner of the Jolly Knave in 1960’s Raleigh, has started hosting reunions for the shag dancing community. Though the doors of the Jolly Knave closed in 1971 and the Atlantic Beach Jolly Knave was sold in 1978, hundreds of North Carolinians still remember them as the best dancing clubs in the state, and travel hundreds of miles for the annual reunions.
