Arthur Murray Shag Demonstration (from SF Jitterbugs site)



Uploaded by: oldtimey
Video Description:
A vintage swing dance of the 1930's, the Collegiate Shag is danced side by side, or in open and closed position. Footwork, kicks, spins and close connection, the Collegiate Shag reminds you of the old-time cartoons in which the legs looked like noodles! The Collegiate Shag became so popular that even the prim and proper Arthur Murray taught the Collegiate Shag! www.jitterbugs.info

Whatever it was, no relation whatsoever to the shag. Instruction by a Clydesdale working for Arthur Murray Studios does not cut it.

salsa is cool. shag is bouncy like house music. i like both styles.
ive heard international shag experts recommending this clip. a murray studios toned down steps for an older audience (college kids - who popularized the shag didnt have $ for lessons) but the instructors are authentic street dancers from teh era.
