This website will tell you everything you need to know about this dance form.

Get you parents their vitamins, call them a cab, kick them out of the house, and send their asses off to Red Dogs on Saturday night for a night of shag dancing. We know it's too lame for you to be caught dead there listening to their music, but they are guaranteed to have a good time at what is the only adult good time to be found on the island on a set night. Yes, it's date night for your parents or your older siblings.

In the old days, they would teach shag dancing in the Southern schools, which is why so many older folk know how to do it. Perhaps there are a few younger people who have an interest in the very particular dance moves that are involved in shag. Most people who are not from the South have no idea what it is.

The two bartenders that work the 8-11PM shift seem to do fairly well on tips with this older, tipsy crowd. Don't even think of showing up here trying to pick up cougars, because the crowd is full of couples--bring your own. The cream of the crop of Wrightsville Beach and the surrounding area were well represented and a very festive mood pervaded the whole proceedings, ya'll.

Show up on the first and third Saturday of every month for Leigh Ann's Beach Party, something that is way more fun and a lot more exercise than karaoke.
