Abstract:
Shag dancing has remained a state tradition since Maurice Williams and others popularized it in the 1950s. The core states in the shag world are North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Carolina Shag is an unofficial collection of fifty shag clubs statewide that keep this uniquely Carolina tradition alive. Toenes discusses the origin of the dance, some of the shag clubs, and why this dancing style has remained so popular.
