I started Live.Collegiate.Shag on Instagram to drive interest in the dance and I’ve had a ton of people who want to learn who aren’t near any of the hot spots. You can find a map under *Resources* here: https://livecollegiateshag.wixsite.com/dance if you want to find Collegiate Shag near you.
You can find some of the basic Collegiate Shag Footwork in this video: Double Kick Basic, Step Kick Basic, Kick Butt Basic, Cross Kick Basic, Tap Back Basic, Slide back basic, shag breaks, 3 kick basic (no quick quick) – these are all 6 counts with most of them in the Slow, Slow, Quick, Quick pattern. This is not an instructional video but it doesn’t mean you can’t learn from watching, also all these footwork variations can be found in vintage clips.
