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 and 2 , 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 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).

Open dancing (and lessons) will resume September 25th 2008, following lessons at around 8:30pm.
