"Carolina shag" Tanımı ve Anlamı

What is "Carolina shag"?

Carolina shag is a smooth and laid-back partner dance that originated in the coastal regions of North and South Carolina during the 1940s. It is danced to beach music, which is a style of rhythm and blues, and features a relaxed, gliding motion with an emphasis on smooth footwork and a steady rhythm. The dance is typically performed in a close hold, with partners moving together in sync, often incorporating subtle, understated movements rather than flashy or fast-paced steps. Carolina shag is known for its easygoing, social nature and is a popular dance at beach parties and festivals in the southeastern United States.
