Sandy Beach Shag Club Lessons

United We Dance

John and Robin teaching our Basic Shag Class

Lessons

Sandy Beach shag instructors are Robin Morley and John Carpenter. We teach Beginners 1,2, 3, Intermediate, and Mirror Step lessons. Line dance lessons are also taught by Robin and other instructors. Lessons are held at the Elks Lodge (see map under Finding Us) on Thursday nights at 6:30pm for Beginners I , and 7:30 for or Beginners II, Beginners III or Intermediate Lessons, except the third Thursday of the month. We will go about an hour with each class.  Open dancing follows the lessons.  All people are invited to come for open dancing. We are fortunate to have the Elks facility and we are able to purchase beverages from the bar area (alcoholic and non-alcoholic).

(We Will Annouce our lessons soon for Summer and Fall 2010!) --NO PARTNER NECESSARY-Please pre-register. See the link under Lesson Schedule

Cost for Lessons are $20 for all 4 lessons per person.

***Beginners 1 will teach you the Basic Shag Steps, several turns, the Start Step, Sailor shuffle along with style and technique points.

***Beginners 2 reviews what we learned in Beginners 1 with emphasis on style, posture, and tempo with some additional basic variations, lead and follow steps, and other components of shag that will help you to learn the more advanced steps.

***Beginners 3 will be a great series of lessons because our goal in this class will be to teach great steps such as the Belly Roll with variations and additional lead and follow steps.  In this class we will work on every step until it is mastered instead of moving on to something else each class.  There will be plenty of dancing to music and an opportunity to concentrate on style and flow.

***Intermediate class will teach you the Pivot, and lots of other steps.  See the lesson plans for all classes, to learn more. If you take Beginners 1, and are or become a member of the Sandy Beach Shag Club, you can take Beginners 1 again at no cost!

If you plan to take Beginners 2 , 3 (or Intermediate) and have taken Beginners 1, you must join the Sandy Beach Shag Club.

Membership dues are only $20 a year!. This is a very small price to pay for the benefits you will receive!

 

Robin and John are now teaching Private Lessons in Robin’s house.   If you would prefer to have a more private environment to learn the shag, take more advanced steps, work on your style or be able to take lessons on another night besides Thursday, please contact Robin for more information.  Private lessons cost just a little bit more than group lessons.
