Shag Lessons
The Beaufort Shag Club firmly believes in sharing with others our love of the South Carolina State Dance - THE CAROLINA SHAG!
We periodically have lessons to enhance the enjoyment of dancing and to share new steps with fellow members. All classes taught by club instructors are free to members.
Beginner lessons will be taught each Wednesday in February, starting on February 4 at 6:00 pm.
Contact Woody Oakley to register for any class.

Just to let you know, new members are not required to take lessons. If you already dance the shag or some similar dance, you are welcome to join us on the dance floor. If you wish to take lessons, they are available.
Beginner Lessons
These consist of four (4) lessons spanning consecutive weeks. These lessons will be held at AMVETS on Ribaut Road, typically from 6:00 - 6:45 PM. To attend these lessons, you must be a member of the club and pre-register by contacting the instructor. Priority is given to those members who have not taken the beginner class before. The classes are limited to the first 12 couples (including single signups). Keeping the class size manageable allows for more individual instructor assistance.
Intermediate Lessons
These also consist of four lessons spanning consecutive weeks and also require preregistration. Classes typically teach Basic and Turn variations, the Pivot, the Bellyroll, the Boogie Walk, etc. One should be reasonably proficient at the basic and the male and female turns before taking the Intermediate classes.
Special Steps
We periodically ask some of our members to share a new step or line dance with the rest of the club.
There is a small secondary dance floor at the back of the room for refresher assistance by other members or to just practice a new step.
