SOS Spring Safari
Shag dancing has deep roots in South Carolina, particularly along the coastal regions. Originating in the early 20th century, it evolved from a blend of African-American rhythms, swing, and beach music. The dance gained popularity in the 1940s and 1950s, becoming a staple of social gatherings and beach culture along the Grand Strand. South Carolina's vibrant shag scene led to the formation of numerous shag clubs and the establishment of annual shag festivals, such as the Myrtle Beach Shag Festival, celebrating this iconic dance form. Today, shag remains an integral part of South Carolina's cultural heritage, with enthusiasts continuing to preserve and promote its rich history and traditions. Your Lawyers at the Beach wish you all good vibes and safe times, but should you need us, we are only a call away.
