Join Toronto’s Shaggers, Phil and Reesa, for a special introductory taste of Collegiate Shag!
Shall we Shag now or shall we shag later? … Let’s Shag now!
Collegiate Shag is a swing dance popular with the College set in the 1930’s and has a history similar to other jazz and swing era dances. Also known as the “Flea Hop”, the dance is known for its hopping basic step and high energy footwork that separates it from other forms of swing and other forms of “Shag”. Shag has a very animated and youthful style, best suited to fast tempos, and a great addition to your dance repertoire.
